We can help you get over your frustration due to the paradoxical situation: “You need a job to get experience and you need experience to get a job.” Most employers and recruiters want to hire graduates with Australian work experience who can hit the ground running. If you want to secure that job you desperately want and deserve, you must gain the relevant work experience and market your skills to potential employers directly.
How does Professional Internship Program work?
Can I claim academic credits?
- You will be placed in a reputable host company for 12 weeks of supervised, unpaid work experience, where you will get a precious opportunity to:
- gain professional work experience and on-the-job-training,
- be familiar with Australian work culture and industry practices,
- gain confidence and industry knowledge required to hit the job market with competitive advantage and
- prove your worth to a potential employer to secure a job offer.
If you want the work experience gained during the internship to meet the academic credits, Professional Internship Program is the best pathway to meet your specific academic requirements. We will ensure that you receive the on-the-job training compatible with your course objectives.
