A Professional Year in Australia
Investing in your career starts with obtaining the right qualification. However what sets you apart, are the skills and experiences obtained on-the-job. While a course provides you with the right knowledge, workplace skills will give you invaluable experience and practical know-how.
Welcome to Australia’s Professional Year Program.
Getting Started
Australia’s Professional Year Program provides recent graduates with structured professional development, designed to improve their career prospects at the completion of their qualification.
The program combines both formal learning and practical work experience. Over the course of 12 months, students are exposed to on-the-job learning and the opportunity to enter the Australian workforce through internships with reputable Australian organisations.
Am I eligible for a Professional Year Program?
Similar to any visa application, a Professional Year program has strict eligibility requirements.
The program is only applicable for recent graduates in the fields (or closely related to the fields) of:
- Accounting
- Computer Science
- Engineering
Potential applicants must:
- Hold a valid Subclass 485 visa
- Have recently obtained an eligible qualification from a CRICOS-registered course
- Meet age requirements
- Have met the Australian Study Requirement during the completion of their approved qualification.
- Be able to align their skills and education against an approved occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
