How Professional Year Program Improves the Chances of Getting PR in Australia?

The Professional Year Program is a professional skill development initiative taken by professional bodies with the approval of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) to enhance the employability of international students pursuing their graduation in accounting, IT, or engineering field in Australia.

Since Australia depends more on skill migration to address the shortage of skilled professionals in Australian industries, the Professional Year is developed to maintain and increase the supply of qualified professionals to the Australian workforce. This also means that overseas students studying in the country won’t have any problems in finding the job of their choice.

The program is also vital for these students to move closer to their dream of getting permanent residency in Australia. Not to mention, international students who complete the program successfully are awarded five additional migration points towards Australian permanent residency. The 44-week program, incorporating formal learning and an internship with a local host company, prepares international students to join the Australian workplace right after completing their studies.

If you are looking forward to joining the program, you must ensure that you have or applied for a Temporary Graduate visa with minimum one-year validity. You must have engineering, IT or accounting degree completed at an Australian university within Australia (minimum two-year duration). You are also subjected to provide evidence of English language proficiency.

Here are some prime benefits of joining PY:

• The program helps you meet the skill assessment requirement
• You will gain five extra migration points
• You can enhance your CV and interview skills
• The program enables you to develop practical skills via a professional internship
• It lets you build your network with industry professionals
• You gain an understanding of the Australian industry and workplace
• You get a PYP certificate

The program will be an ideal choice for those graduates who are planning to settle down in the country on the permanent basis after completing their studies.
