Sign UP as a Host Company for ITIC LIVE

The ITIC LIVE (Learning Integrated Vocational Experience) programs allows business to gain access to the best young minds coming through our local universities. The program provides companies with an opportunity to engage with university students interested in Networking, Cyber Security, Software Development and Data Science, prior to graduation, in a mutually beneficial way.

We are looking to onboard a small number of key partners who currently run graduate recruitment programs and would like to participate in our IT talent acquisition partner program pilot from February 2020.

We call it a "Sniper" hire. So how does it work? We target top students and the best up and coming IT talent and bring them into our programs, in either Networking/ Network Security, Cyber Security, Software Development or Data Science, where we get the opportunity to evaluate and assess key performance criteria including technical ability, self-learning ability, work ethic, teamwork and efficiency.

After the first stage (3 weeks) which includes skills training, certification training and work experience, we evaluate and select the top 10-15% to participate in our partner organisations business readiness training (1 week).

So after 4 weeks in the ITIC Live program, our intern candidates have passed through our two step evaluation process and have a suitable level of technical expertise and operational readiness to move across into your organisation.

By joining our ITIC Live partner program as a partner host company, we will work with you to tailor both our technical training and work experience program, as well as our business readiness training which will achieve two main outcomes:

  1. Eliminate the company overheads for onboarding new graduates/ interns

  2. Optimise the quality of candidates through our two step candidate filtering process

The key to the success of this program is for industry and academia to collaborate in a meaningful way, which will ensure that we consistently attract the best up and coming talent and create a reliable flow of "Sniper" hire worthy individuals, by tailoring our program to your company needs.

For those who students that participate in the program but do not reach the target group, we offer fantastic range of opportunities both within ITIC's on-site host companies and with our external host company partners. So there are plenty of good opportunities for all and for companies who are interested in participating in the program without committing to work together on fully tailored programs, we have a member program that runs in parallel with our partner program.

Our training programs include certification training and work experience as follows:

  • Networking/ Network Security - CCNA R+S and CCNA Security

  • Software Development - Full Stack Developers Training

  • Cyber Security - CEH Certified Ethical Hacker

  • Data Science - Machine Learning, NLP, Data Lakes (interactive modules)

Our data science program offers students with an opportunity to work on our collaborative research project with #macquarieuniversity entitled "Intelligence Led Teaching and Learning". ITIC is the industry stream lead for AI enabled Education at the Macquarie Universities AI-enabled Process (AIP) Research Centre.
