Build stronger connections with industry to elevate your medtech career
The Medtech Industry Connections (MIC) Program is designed to build stronger connections with industry for students considering a career in medical technology.
Our mission is to expand and upskill the future medtech workforce.
We aim to increase awareness of the many career pathways that exist in the sector and provide opportunities to upskill via industry-led training, events and connections to ensure students are more industry-ready.
What’s Involved?
We work with our industry partners as well as ecosystem supporters to provide our MIC students with exclusive opportunities to attend events where they can get involved in sector initiatives and directly speak to professionals working in the field. As part of the MIC Program, you will receive early access to VMH sponsored-opportunities such as:
- Courses and micro-credentials
- Career workshops
- Industry networking events
- Medtech conferences
Eligible students will also be automatically considered for industry internships from our industry partners, subject to their individual selection criteria.
We’re here to open doors – the next step is yours to take.

As you start your career in medtech, we want you to be across:
- What industry employers are looking for from prospective employees (both technical and soft skills!)
- What type of roles exist
- Who makes up the medtech industry in Victoria and how you can connect with them
Once you’ve applied you’ll be added to our MIC student database, where eligible students will be automatically considered for emerging industry internship opportunities (subject to the company’s selection criteria). You will also be added to our mailing list where you will receive first-access to student-focused opportunities to learn more about the medtech sector, career pathways and industry sought-after skills.
Due to the high volume of applicants please note that your application does not guarantee you an internship or admission to our courses, workshops, and sector opportunities.
Your application will remain active on our database for 1 year from your application date; you will need to re-apply thereafter.
