Things to Remember While Joining a Professional Year Program

by Arpita Shah Seo Executive

If you are an engineering, IT or accounting graduate and planning to settle in Australia permanently, you better join the Professional Year Melbourne. The Professional Year Program (PYP) is a unique professional skill development program combining formal learning and workplace experience. It incorporates business training with career skills development, making you job-ready.

Successful completion of the PYP will help you earn five migration points towards the PR and skilled migration pathway. International students from engineering, accounting or IT fields with minimum two years of Australian Qualification Framework are eligible for the program.

Though cost is a benchmark for any student, many education providers are offering PYP in Australia at a low price. But, the chosen education body should have a reputation in the education world coupled with a comprehensive internship program. Many such education bodies place candidates in unacknowledged placement programs, which is completely waste of effort for a candidate and not recognised in the professional world. There are agencies interested in making a student a migration client once the subclass 485 visa expires. Hence it may seem a lucrative win in short-term; however, it would be a loss in long-term perspective.

No matter whether you are joining Professional Year Sydney or Melbourne, you need to verify the credentials of the PY provider. Following are the leading PY providers in Australia:

Performance Education

Founded in 2006, Performance Education enjoys the reputation of being the first accredited provider of the PYP in Accounting and ICT. 92 percent of their graduates have rated their internship as ‘very good’, ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’. One in three graduates at Performance Education were offered employment by the host company following their internship.

Education Centre of Australia

It has been offering top-quality PYP to ICT and Accounting graduates since 2008. More than three thousand ECA students have placed into Top 100 Australian companies.
