An Internship is not only a ‘nice to have’ on your resume, in many cases it is a must have.  Personally, it also helps the university student secure the right position for themselves before they graduate.    The ACS Foundation provides over 300 internship style scholarships every year across Australia.  http://www.acsfoundation.com.au/index.cfm?action=scholarships&temID=currentscholar to browse the current list of available internships.
