Our Year in Industry program for university students
We participate in the ‘Year in Industry’ program in partnership with the University of Sydney’s School of Chemistry. This elective program allows undergraduate students to do their third year of study working full-time with us.
Over the course of 12 months, our students gain experience and are mentored by regulatory scientists. There are 1-3 placements available per year and students are interviewed prior to any offer. At the end of the program, participating students return to university to complete their course.
To support your learning experience, you will be given opportunities to:
- complete regulatory chemical risk assessments
- take part in specialised projects
- participate in seminar programs and formal training courses, such as toxicology training and writing workshops
