About us

Endless opportunities.
Huge impact.

CareerTrackers is a national purpose-driven organisation that supports pre-professional First Nations university students and links them with employers to participate in paid, multi-year internships. CareerTrackers students complete university with high marks, industry experience and bright futures.

Students perform their internships with sponsorship organisations, with the aim of converting from intern into full-time employee upon completion of their university degree. Over 80% of CareerTrackers students are in full-time employment within 3 months of completing their studies. In addition to creating lasting employment opportunities, we provide interns and their sponsoring organisations with year-round support to prepare students for success at university, and in their chosen professions and their communities.

Since 2009, we have been changing the face of corporate Australia. We have supported over 3000 internships, have an alumni of over 1000 strong First Nations professionals and are connected to a wide range of world-class employment and university partners.

We’re more than a program. We are committed to student success from the classroom to the board room. The support we provide and facilitate with our partners is a real game-changer – activating an amazing range of opportunities and accelerating careers in their chosen field.

We believe in success and opportunity for all First Nations students. We also believe First Nations people should have the opportunity and freedom to choose and be represented across all levels and in all occupations, industries and workplaces.

CareerTrackers is a non-profit charitable organisation and Supply Nation registered.
