Why choose an nbn Summer Internship? 

This is more than an internship. At nbn, you won’t just shadow from the sidelines, you’ll contribute from day one. You’ll work on real projects, learn from experienced professionals, and build the skills, confidence, and connections that shape your future. 

 

Our program is designed to turn what you’ve learned at uni into real-world impact, while giving you genuine career momentum including the opportunity to progress into our Graduate Program. Many of our interns go on to stay with us, building long-term careers at nbn. 

 

What you’ll get 

  • Paid experience 

  • Real work from day one 

  • Support that helps you grow (leader, mentor, and buddy) 

  • A genuine pathway forward, including potential progression into our Graduate Program 

 

What the experience feels like 

Our 12-week internship is structured to help you settle in, build confidence, and take on real responsibility over time. 

 

Past interns describe the experience as supportive, empowering, and career-shaping with opportunities to contribute meaningfully and grow their confidence. 

 

How the internship is structured  

  • Start strong: Get set up, meet your team, and understand your role. 

  • Get into the work: Contribute to projects and collaborate.
