The QIBA Professional Year Program is a comprehensive initiative that combines formal classroom workshops with practical workplace experience. Completing this program also makes graduates eligible to apply for 5 migration points toward permanent residency with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).
The program is open to former international students who have graduated from an Australian university. It serves as an avenue to explore potential career paths by offering relevant practical training. Accredited by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), it provides an approved internship program.
International students who have completed a degree of at least two years from an Australian university can apply for the program. Spanning 44 weeks, the program consists of 32 weeks of coursework and 12 weeks of internship. It equips participants with valuable knowledge, skills, and real exposure to working in an Australian company.
Throughout the program, participants engage in various activities to develop workplace skills and understand Australian workplace norms, values, market dynamics, and culture. The internship placement further enhances their career prospects in Australia.
Why Professional Year from QIBA?
- It offers opportunities for internships
Many international students may need help getting an excellent job in their field after they graduate from Australia. This is easier to do with the PYP because it gives international students many ways to get good jobs. Australia has a lot of well-known schools that promise PYP students internship opportunities. Also, after finishing the program, most candidates get permanent jobs with the companies. The internship program can also help you get hired by other Australian companies by giving you great experience to put on your resume.
- It helps you meet more professionals
The PYP also lets you meet new people and grow your professional and social networks. You can meet many professionals in your field and connect with people who share your interests and goals.
- It helps you get used to working in Australia
Regarding professional workplaces and rules of behaviour, each country and company has its own set of rules. When you take the PYP, you can see how professionals in Australia do their jobs and balance work and personal life.
- On successful completion of the PYP, you may be eligible for five (5) points towards your application for permanent residency in Australia.
