To apply for a TropEco Internship, you must be a JCU student, currently studying at either our Cairns or Townsville campuses.

We have put together a list of projects that Interns can undertake at our Townsville and Cairns campuses. Have a look for your campus below and see if there's an Intern project that interests you.

Can't see a project you want to get involved in but have an idea of your own?  Talk to one of the TropEco team to see if it is suitable as an Intern project. If it is, we will get you started.

TropEco Interns can gain different levels of certification based on their achievements and hours volunteered. The table below shows the various certification levels available to Interns. Once you complete your Internship we will provide a final certification. All Interns will be presented with a certificate at the TropEco Awards ceremony, usually held in October, or as required. The certification looks great on your resume and will be looked upon favourably by future employers.TE Intern Levels
