Internship opportunities 

“I really enjoyed being in an English speaking environment to improve my English skills as well as gaining work experience. I’ve learnt how to make advertisements for the newspaper, which was very interesting. It was a great experience and I’m very thankful to Professional Pathways Australia for organising my internship as well as for introducing me to other interns!” (Mi Hye Jang – Media internship)
