Industry Training Overview

Industry Training is coordinated by the Career Services Department and is a compulsory component of all undergraduate programs.  During Industry Training, students are required to undertake employment with a suitable and relevant industry employer.

ICMS has recently launched a more flexible industry training program which allows students to complete their industry training as paid or unpaid work on a full time or part time basis. For more information on the new industry training program click here

The Industry Training period is approximately nine months full time, or the equivalent part-time. During Industry training student are required to accrue 1200 hours of employment.  One-year diploma students also complete 600 hours of Industry Training.  Industry training may be taken as full time, part time or volunteer work.

Students will be assessed at various stages of Industry Training. Workplace supervisors will complete two performance reports and students are required to complete two workplace assignments. The reports and assignments are then submitted to Career Services for marking.  Students are expected to achieve a pass grade in each area to satisfy the requirements of Industry training.

In order for students to be prepared for Industry Training, Career Services requires that all students complete an Industry Training preparation program. This program involves a number of compulsory activities including presentation attendance, resume drafting and interview preparation.  

Once a student meets all the expectations required prior to the commencement of Industry Training, Career Services will assist with industry placement. 
Career Services is available to provide on-going support and guidance for all students in regards to Industry Training.
