Role Title: Broadway Connect Project Design Intern
Organisation: UWA Student Equity
Internship Period: Winter (June - July)
Location: Crawley
Broadway Connect Program Design Intern will support a student-centred review and redesign of the Broadway Connect program to strengthen engagement, belonging, and transition support for first-year equity students at UWA.
Through this role, the intern will develop an understanding of student equity and widening participation in higher education, including the experiences, barriers, and support needs of students from underrepresented backgrounds, and how targeted transition and engagement initiatives can support student confidence, connection, and success at university.
The intern will research best-practice first-year transition, belonging, and student engagement programs across Australian universities, compare approaches to supporting equity students, and work with the Student Equity team to identify opportunities for program improvement. With a focus on student needs and lived experience, the intern will contribute to practical recommendations to inform future Broadway Connect design, delivery, and student engagement outcomes.
UWA is committed to continuing to widen participation and support students from diverse backgrounds in higher education. The Student Equity team sits within the Student Life portfolio, and our layered and long-term approach includes initiatives embedded across at all stages of the student life cycle. Our programs provide broad-based, early intervention outreach and an admission entry pathway for students of high potential but limited means and opportunity.
