Professional Year Program

The Professional Year (PYear), or Job Preparedness Program is a structured professional development curriculum meant for international students who have graduated from an Australian University. This program combines workplace experience and training to boost employability within the Australian job market.
Securing a job in the competitive Australian market can be challenging for international graduates. The Professional Year Program simplifies this transition process by guiding you through an industry-relevant internship placement that ensures you gain the technical and soft skills necessary to succeed in the business environment.
