What is the Professional Year Program?

The Professional Year is a structured professional development program that combines formal, in-class learning with a guaranteed Australian internship. It is only offered in three high-demand fields:

• Information Technology (IT/ICT)
• Accounting (SMIPA)
• Engineering

A PYP is the missing link on your resume. It shows employers you have been trained in the Australian workplace context and are ready to contribute from day one.

The Three Key Benefits: Why You Need a PYP

This program is a strategic investment that pays for itself in career and migration outcomes.

1. Gain 5 Critical Points for Skilled Migration

Upon successful completion, the PYP grants you 5 points toward your skilled migration points test. In the highly competitive race for a Skilled Visa (Subclass 189, 190, or 491), these 5 points are often the difference between receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency or waiting indefinitely.

2. A Guaranteed Australian Internship

This is the program’s most valuable asset. The PYP includes a 12-week internship placement within a host company in your field. This is your chance to:

• Get your “foot in the door” and gain a professional reference.
• Apply your university knowledge in a real-world environment.
• Build a professional network in your city.
• Break the “no local experience” barrier forever.

Many graduates are offered their first professional job by their internship host company.

3. Master the Australian Workplace

The in-class component is not like university. It’s practical training that teaches you the “soft skills” employers are looking for, such as:

• Australian workplace culture and communication.
• Professional CV writing and interview techniques.
• Networking with industry professionals.
• Using common business tools and software.

Eligibility: Who Can Enroll?

The PYP is designed for a specific group of graduates. You must:

• Have completed an eligible degree in Accounting, IT, or Engineering from an Australian university (minimum 2 years of study).
• Hold a Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485).
• Meet the minimum English language requirements (e.g., IELTS 6.0 or equivalent).
