With end-of-financial-year activities behind us, now's the perfect time to tackle those projects that have been sitting on your to-do list. If you operate a Western Australia (WA)-based food and beverage sector business with a need for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) talent, what better way to address those projects than having a talented, motivated STEM student join your team?
This is where the WA Food Industry Education Collaboration (WAFEC) program can help. We connect your business with WA's top STEM students to undertake business-led projects.
Students bring fresh perspectives to your business, contribute to business growth, and can take on those short-term projects you've been meaning to address.
WAFEC facilitators are here to assist you every step of the way with one-on-one support:
Regional businesses can access an additional $2,500 per student for travel support when hosting remote interns.
The WAFEC program is delivered by CSIRO on behalf of the WA Government's Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
Applying is straightforward - now's the ideal time to secure your STEM talent!
Visit our updated website for project ideas or chat with one of our local facilitators about scoping your project.
