The ARRB Intern Experience

Over the summer holidays, the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) hosted four interns as a part of the ARRB Academy Intern Program, overseen by Dr Mike Shackleton, Chief Research Officer.

Out of nearly 350 applications these were the four interns who were successful in obtaining an internship for the 2017/2018 summer at the ARRB.
