Work Opportunities for Students in New Zealand
There are three main types of work opportunities for international students while studying in NewZealand.
Internships
An internship is a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, and it can be paid or unpaid. To intern means "to pass inside something," and when you have an internship, it's like you've temporarily gotten permission to be inside a workplace.
Part-Time Work
An international education can be a strain on a student’s budget. In New Zealand, most students enrolled in a course of 12 months' duration or longer can work part-time for up to 20 hours a week during semester and during holiday periods.
Placements
Placements refer to the temporary job that someone does in an organization, usually to get some work experience. A placement is a bit like an internship, but it is usually a bit longer – usually lasting for a year.
