The La Trobe Industry Cadetship Program for Science Majors
 The
best La Trobe science graduates are job-ready with the Industry Cadetship
Program (ICP). ICP places science students with companies for industry-based
experience in areas relevant to their course. The program is voluntary
and competitive; companies assess applications and select the best student
for their needs.
Students are involved in short-term placements mid-year, 12 week summer

Nanotechnology students may also have the opportunity to assist and
encourage high school science students through the In2science Peer
Mentoring in Schools Program. Participants volunteer their time
for a few hours per week to work in the classroom as role models for
high school students, encouraging them to raise their aspirations and
achieve their full potential in science subjects.
