Hi All,
Welcome to the RCP Student Internship Program at WEHI. We are excited to have you join our team and provide you with valuable learning opportunities throughout your internship.
This is your email to start week 1 of your internship. You are probably excited and a little bit anxious too. That’s OK. Please remember you have other students to connect with and you can always ask your supervisor or me for help.
This is a 100% remote internship and that part of the Workday email can be safely ignored. On your first day, you will be scheduled some virtual drop-in sessions so you can meet the supervisor and other interns.
Workday is the Human Resources software tool at WEHI. You will receive an email from Workday and will need to fill in all the forms before you start. You may not receive the Workday email before your start date. This is OK, you will just need to wait and use your student email for the time being. Please also note that there is a Workday FAQ you can find in the FAQ below..
It is usually an issue with students to have issues with Workday.
Please go to the FAQ and look through all the Workday issues before your start setting up Workday.
Many students ask their supervisor questions that could be easily solved within the team. Please read this to find out when and how to send an email to your supervisor to ask a question.
WARNING: Please note that your setup with University of Melbourne may cause confusion in your browser. Please use "Incognito" or "Private" mode when you are troubleshooting.
- Read the onboarding documentation
- Setup Workday (if available) based off the information in the Onboarding onto the Internship program FAQ
- Reach out to your fellow student interns and supervisors to organise the weekly project meetings for the whole of your internship. Your supervisor can then create a weekly calendar invite on your behalf.
- Schedule two regular co-working sessions per week with your fellow student interns, without supervisors. These can be used so you can work together. The second co-working session should be co-ordinated with your sister project. A sister project is a project that is working on a similar set of technology to you that you would regularly talk to.
- Setup your WEHI email and email Rowland the details so he can add them to his list
- Add your WEHI email to the Sharepoint/Teams "WEHI-wide student intern group" by following the "How do I get access to the WEHI-wide student intern group using my WEHI email address?" FAQ
- Read the Social Media Policy for student interns.
You can see the full list in the key milestones and onboarding emails page.
Please read through the onboarding document as this will help you ease your way into WEHI.
I will be adding your student email to the WEHI system so you can gain access to our Sharepoint/Teams. This is temporary as you will be given a WEHI email address via Workday.
Here are a few things you can do:
- You can look at the storage and compute options available at WEHI.
- You can read about the top 5 mistakes that students make
- You can also have a look at the FAQ
- You can learn how to handle a complex and ambiguous project
- You can review your project and look at the available documentation
- You can also use this internship as an opportunity to network
If you have any questions or need further clarification regarding the internship program or the onboarding document, please feel free to reach out to me after you have looked through these documents. We are here to assist you and provide any necessary support.
We are looking forward to working with you and wish you a rewarding and successful internship experience.
Regards,
Rowland Mosbergen
