Description

Expand your knowledge and skills on a Professional Internship in Sydney or Melbourne. You'll intern with reputable organizations and companies. Some that past students have interned with include Amnesty International, BT (Global), Chubb, University of New South Wales ... and more!

Professional Internships: Through our partner organization in Australia, we arrange internships for international students and graduates. These internships are custom-designed in a large range of fields. Learn the fundamentals of working in a specialized field associated with your study.

Gap Year Internships: We are also able to arrange internships in a wide range of selected sectors for gap year students who have not yet begun their studies at university. This is an ideal (and often unique) opportunity to get real-life, hands-on experience in the field that you've chosen to make your career.

We match enthusiastic and motivated interns with relevant employers so that you can gain experience in your chosen field and exchange knowledge to the benefit of both parties. Each placement is tailored to meet your individual requirements and we provide you with full support and back-up during your stay in Australia.

With our Professional Internships in Sydney and Melbourne, rarely are two placements ever the same! Each placement is professionally matched and specifically tailored between you and your host organization. During your application, we will guide you and liaise with you to ascertain exactly what your specifics are and what you hope to achieve on your work experience, to ensure achieve the very best out of your internship.

PROFESSIONAL INTERNSHIPS FOR STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY OR GRADUATES: The standard internship program is for students and graduates with at least one year of tertiary study in your chosen field. It is expected that students taking the standard internship program have skills and knowledge in their field of study and thus they are assigned more complicated tasks and projects.

INTERNSHIPS FOR GAP YEAR STUDENTS: Gap year internships are designed for high school graduates who have no specialized skill set but would like to gain some entry level work experience in Australia. If you're a gap year student, we can arrange very worthwhile learning internships for you, but your internship will be more "general" as you won't yet have done any post-secondary studies in your chosen field. For example, if you choose a "Marketing" internship, you need to be prepared to undertake some more general roles in the Marketing arena.
