Not only do internships help you secure higher-paying jobs, but they also give you real-world experience and allow you to apply what you have learned in the classroom by "trying on a career." Centre students are often eager for intellectual challenges beyond the traditional classroom. As they become ready for a new level of discovery, the College provides them the chance to become partners in learning with Centre faculty and accomplished researchers elsewhere.

These opportunities include paid work positions and unpaid internships/volunteering opportunities. The latter may contribute to Industry Experience Engagement or Continuing Professional Development hours. Under the draft Constitution proposed by the Centenary Committee, the relationship between the Centre and the University was to be quite unusual: it would be an independent institute affiliated with the Engineering Faculty, with its relationship with the University and the Faculty set out to ensure it would remain independent and committed solely to ‘fostering excellence and innovation in advanced engineering.’ This mandate continues to the present day. Innovation is vital for turning good ideas into commercial reality and is an area where Australia has often lagged behind international competitors. The Warren Centre is one of the most passionate advocates for Australian innovation. The Warren Centre’s Inclusion² program is the first comprehensive career approach to support women in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM). Currently, female talent is being lost at every stage of the STEM pipeline. In this rapid technological change period, society requires innovative and adaptive STEM solutions delivered by a diverse cohort of industry leaders. Inclusion² is a multi-tiered program addressing the barriers to diversity in STEM from school to senior executive.
