The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering's (ATSE) internship program, IMNIS Ignite opens the door for Australia’s STEM graduates to gain real-world experience in industry - igniting future careers in STEM.

Embedded within ATSE’s national and international industry engagement initiative, IMNIS – the Industry Mentoring Network in STEM – IMNIS Ignite is a chance to apply your research and professional skills and expertise through a 3 or 6-month project in industry.

As an IMNIS Ignite intern you will gain invaluable industry experience and expand your professional networks. We are currently inviting expressions of interest (EOI) from all IMNIS alumni to be considered for a paid internship opportunity in industry through IMNIS Ignite.

Complete this expression of interest (EOI) form to let us know more about you, your expertise and skills.  A member of the IMNIS team will be in contact when a suitable internship opportunity becomes available. Please note that completing the EOI form does not guarantee an internship placement.

You only need to complete an EOI once to be considered for current and future internship opportunities. If you would like to update your EOI, please contact us at IMNIS@atse.org.au to discuss your application. 

Please ensure you answer ALL relevant questions in the EOI, incomplete applications will not be considered for opportunities. You can read the questions to prepare your EOI using this document.

If you have any questions or concerns about this EOI form, or would like to express your interest in a different format, please contact Laura Navarro at IMNIS@atse.org.au 

Participants of the IMNIS Ignite program must abide by ATSE's code of conduct. 

In its first year, the IMNIS Ignite program is open only to IMNIS alumni who have completed IMNIS Engage (previously known as IMNIS)– our prestigious industry mentoring and professional development program. Opportunities for non-IMNIS alumni might become available later following the pilot year.
