The Program
At Thales Australia, an internship (paid or voluntary) is generally for an undergraduate or student engaged by Thales for a fixed period of time (typically one to six months). On occasion, an intern may defer university for up to one year to complete an internship with Thales for which they earn credits towards their degree. The overall aim of the internships is to develop you for a potential graduate position with Thales in the future.
Whatever the length of your internship and whatever you work on, you will come face to face with big innovations, collaborate on real projects and learn from some of the best in our business. Each internship is tailored to you, the project and the area you join, meaning that your experience will be, quite literally, unlike any other!
Applications are now open for the 2024 Thales Internship Program.
