Professional Year Program
PYP is a career development program that combines formal learning and an internship to provide students with the experience of working in Australia. This program is actually designed for those who are seeking for a Permanent Residency Visa as it adds 5 points to your visa application.
Why should I get a Professional Year Program?
The main reason for most people who enrol in a PYP is to receive the 5 extra points for their PR visa application. Yet, apart from that major benefit, PYP will teach you the culture and practices of working in Australia. You will learn about business communication and writing, presentation and meetings, along with job application tips such as how to create a resume and cover letter based on Australian standards.
The courses will be conducted in a classroom environment much like your university tutorials. Hence, it is also a great opportunity for you to broaden your network with fellow professional colleagues.
