Are you an overseas student in Australia, and wondering how to kickstart your career? Because if you are, then Professional Year might just have the answer for you.

This is a program created in order to help the graduates of Engineering, IT, and Accounting from any Australian University to get them ready for the Australian market.

Professional Year bridges the gap between students looking for employment and the industry that faces a shortage of skill. Approved by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), this program plays a big role in helping international graduates acquire an Australian PR.

There are 3 professional bodies that have designed these Professional Year programs -

• Engineering Education Australia (EEA) for Engineering,
• Australian Computer Society (ACS) for IT, and
• Certified Practising Accountants (CPA) designed the Skilled Migration Internship Program: Accounting (SMIPA).

Here are some of the pointers on how exactly PYA is no less than a godsend:

• This is a 12-month program that focuses on skill assessment, development, and management of a graduate in the field of Engineering, Accounting, and IT.
• Not just theoretical education, but you would also be eligible for an internship at an Australian company through this program.
• PY program makes you come directly in contact with your respective industry, and lets you understand the practices and culture followed in an Australian workplace.
• Last, but the most important of all, you become eligible to gain an extra five points on the DIBP points test, whenever you apply for a Skilled Independent (subclass 189) visa. This further improves your chances to become a permanent resident in Australia.

The great thing is, that there’s no dearth of institutions providing this program all over the country. Just like there’s Performance Education in Sydney - similarly there is a Professional Year Program in Melbourne, Adelaide, and such other major cities in Australia.

So if you too are looking to build your career in Australia, and finally become a permanent resident there, the expert education and migration consultants at Aussizz Group can help you pave your way to your destination!
