Aquinas myFUTURE provides an enrichment opportunity for Aquinas College students with a direct link to real-world experience through our Internship partnerships.

The asynchronous nature of our Aquinas myFUTURE blended learning model allows for the flexibility to conduct these Internships as an embedded element of a student’s Senior School journey.

Many of our current Year 11 students have recently submitted an expression of interest for this exciting and valuable opportunity. In the coming weeks, they will be put in contact with our partnered organisations and to finalise the details of their placement.

One of the strengths of this model is the flexibility to meet the needs of our students and modern workplaces. There are two models which will be the most common arrangement for our Internships being; on Fridays during the term, or as an intensive vacation experience similar to what many university students experience. Establishing these networks early and gaining invaluable real-world experience puts our students ahead of the curve in such a competitive marketplace. Some of the placements secured for our students exist in the following occupations:

• Accountancy and Business
• Property and Asset Management
• Agricultural Business
• Events and Marketing
• Agricultural Science
• Law
• Architecture
• Orthopaedics
• Engineering
• Robotics and Technology

As a community, these Internships are an outstanding opportunity for our students and we are very grateful to those organisations who have offered to take on a student or small group of students.
