Description

The Professional Pathways Australia Gap Year Internship program is a new professional internship program specifically for high school leavers seeking to add value to their gap year experience. Internships are arranged all year round and are monitored throughout by PPA staff. A gap year internship is a great way for a high school leaver to discover the "working" side of Australia, which not only provides valuable experience, but can increase chances of gaining entry to preferred universities upon returning home. It also enables travellers to find out more about what they might want to study at university.

Highlights

PPA provides a full range of support services to gap year interns, including orientation, accommodation, airport pick up service, weekly newsletters and trips and regular social functions. PPA monitors each internship closely to ensure a quality experience. All gap year interns will receive a reference from the host company along with a completion certificate from PPA.
