In my first year I attended the FISU Forum in Montpellier, France, where I was able to meet other student leaders from around the world. That experience really motivated me to take on every opportunity I could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then I became President of the Deakin University Sports Studies Club, landed a job as football&nbsp;operations manager through a networking evening I would never have attended previously, did some other volunteer work with the Hawthorn FC, and completed the internship with AUS alongside part-time lifeguarding and full-time study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a lot of&nbsp;hard work and time&nbsp;management, but UniSport Australia really gave me the confidence in my abilities that allowed me to build up the best&nbsp;resume I could before graduating. Now I am working at Cricket Australia as the Digital Commercial Assistant, my dream organisation! I have a lot to thank UniSport for in getting me to this&nbsp;point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dblue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2656f7b170a843c7b7e9952ca2fcd6c6\"><strong>Reuben Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>High Performance Intern 2015-2016<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Through the internship at Unisport Australia I had the amazing opportunity to meet my now current employers at Red Bull. Through interacting with the partners at the 2016 Australian Unigames in Perth I was asked to interview for a role as Student Brand Manager in Brisbane. This Red Bull role was be my first paid role within my industry of study which I am so passionate about. Since landing this job at Red Bull I have gone on to receive a promotion to Student Brand Manager Mentor and now lead the student marketing team in Queensland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was also fortunate enough to land a three month part time contract with UniSport Australia as Digital Brand Coordinator and this role gave me a great insight into digital brand marketing. UniSport&nbsp;also provided me with the amazing opportunity to attend the FISU Volunteers Academy in Russia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dblue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ad3bd0755252dcca3d8ac49644476435\"><strong>Ash Arrowsmith<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsorship &amp; Marketing Assistant 2016 &#8211; 2017<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unisport.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HO-Internships-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5141 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unisport.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HO-Internships-3.jpg 567w, https:\/\/www.unisport.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HO-Internships-3-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UniSport Australia Internship Program provides students with meaningful, real-world professional development opportunities beyond their academic studies.
