Get found by employers even before you have applied for a job.

There is strong demand for students from software, engineering, computer science, IT, business and marketing disciplines. However, regardless of your degree, many companies are seeking translatable skill sets such as coding, market research and analysis, planning and strategy, reporting, presentations, digital marketing and written communications etc.

For sure! The Ribit marketplace has opportunities for both students and graduates. Your knowledge and experience doesn’t necessarily correlate with how many years of Uni you have completed. Our employers are looking to engage with students at all stages including part-time jobs and internships.  

Both! We’ve matched students from all different backgrounds to jobs.

Ribit is designed for employers looking for early stage talent ranging from first year students to grads with a few years of experience. We include most industries across Australia and all sizes from innovative start-ups, fast growth scale-ups to medium and large business.

As many as you like. However, take the time to carefully read the description and think about how your skills, experience and background best match up with the company’s requirements.

Please make sure you are aware of the working conditions for student visa holders.

Ribit is free. We don’t charge students or businesses.

You will automatically receive a weekly jobs notification when any new jobs have been posted that match your profile (skills, location, job type).

If you would like to receive additional job notifications, such as for different skills, or as a daily email instead, simply head to the jobs page and use the search function to filter jobs by location, skills, types, and/or area. Once you’ve selected your filters, “click save as search alert.”

Give your search alert a name and set the frequency (Daily or Weekly), then click “Save.”

On ribit.net, the role type course credit refers to a (often unpaid) learning opportunity which is completed as a requirement of a course offered by your educational institute or as a requirement of your program (such as industrial training for engineers). You must seek approval for these roles before applying to ensure they qualify for the specific course you are enrolled in and that they provide a substantial learning opportunity relevant to that course.

In most cases, course credit roles do not offer compensation (such as a wage or salary). At the discretion of the employer, they may however offer some form of stipend or additional benefit, such as travel costs or meals during the term of the placement. These roles are designed as a learning opportunity for students to apply the theory and skills they have gained while studying. For more information please consult your educational institute’s website for work integrated learning or the Fair Work Ombudsman unpaid work factsheet.

Course credit roles have specific requirements in order to qualify. Firstly, you must be currently enrolled in a Australian authorised educational institute or university. You must also be enrolled in a relevant course or program at that institute where work-integrated learning is a requirement. If you are not sure if this applies to you, please consult your university’s work-integrated learning policy before applying.

Typically a course credit role will be offered in conjunction with learning material provided during your semester. Because of this, course credit roles can last up to around 14 weeks. Some educational institutions will allow you to complete multiple work-integrated learning opportunities to meet the required hours and experience, so course credit roles can also be as short as 4 weeks.

There are numerous, well-documented benefits to participating in a work-integrated learning program. Students often finish the program having developed ‘soft’ graduate capabilities such as team work, communication, leadership, awareness and understanding of workplace culture, while obtaining practical experience and skills. A work-integrated learning experience can also be extremely valuable in your career progression, allowing you to enter the workforce earlier and/or more prepared.

Our first recommendation would be to consult your educational institute’s work-integrated learning policy to ensure your program has a requirement to complete a placement, or that you are eligible to enrol in a course with a work-integrated learning component.
