Student Work Experience and Traineeship Expression of Interest form

The Health Gateway program is excited to announce the development of a new Expression of Interest (EOI) form for students interested in undertaking work experience or a traineeship with any of our industry partners. This form has been created to simplify the process for students and schools interested in participating in the program.

The EOI form is easy to complete and provides all of the necessary information required for the team to connect students with industry partners. The form includes information about the student’s studies, interests, and preferred work experience or traineeship opportunities.

The Health Gateway team will then use this information to identify suitable industry partners and connect students with opportunities that match their interests and skillsets. This process ensures that students have the best possible chance of securing work experience or a traineeship that aligns with their career aspirations.

The EOI form is available below and can be completed by students online. We encourage all students interested in gaining practical experience in the healthcare sector to complete the form and take advantage of this valuable opportunity.
