Professional Year / SMIPA

Maximise your employment opportunities...

Professional Pathways Australia has taken the lead in delivering two DIAC approved Professional Year programs:

• ACS Professional Year program

• Skilled Migration Internship Program - Accounting (SMIPA). 
               

In partnership with the Australian Computer Society (ACS) and CPA Australia, NIA and the ICAA, these programs have been designed principally for international students graduating from Australian institutions in the fields of ICT (Professional Year) or Accounting (SMIPA). Skills learned during the ACS Professional Year and SMIPA programs will enhance employment opportunities and provide recognised points for Australian permanent residency applications^.

Key benefits of undertaking either the SMIPA or ACS Professional Year program with Professional Pathways Australia include:

• enhanced, industry specific workplace skills
• professional networking opportunities
• small class sizes and individualised support
• work placement within an Australian host company
• central training locations within the CBD (Melbourne & Sydney)
• practical emphasis on workplace preparation – a focus on culture, workplace ethics and career expectations
• relevant hands-on learning designed to increase your job-ready skills and employment prospects.

Professional Pathways Australia is committed to providing the best opportunity for you to gain a quality workplace related experience. By enhancing your career and employment skills with an ACS Professional Year or SMIPA program you can bridge the gap between university and permanent employment in Australia.

^{^Please note that neither the ACS Professional Year or SMIPA program guarantees permanent residency.}
