| International internships in Australia and New Zealand provide greater professional experience than many domestic opportunities because companies are smaller and thus interns are exposed to a wider variety of job duties. Living in a foreign country and being immersed in a new culture even further strengthen your resume by giving you skills such as problem solving, independence, and critical thinking. AustraLearn offers internships for credit in Australia and New Zealand in every field of study and gives 24/7 on-site support including a group orientation upon arrival in country. We custom build internships to meet students’ needs, and bring our experience as the largest and oldest study abroad provider in Australia and New Zealand to ensure a great internship experience. The benefits of an international internship were highlighted in a recent article. PDAC The Professional Development for Academic Credit (PDAC) internships are 10-week programs which offer6 academic credits from Chapman University in California. Chapman University is an established university located in Orange, California, with a strong mission in developing global citizens. PDAC Internships are currently offered four times each year and placements are available in almost every field of study. This semester or summer internship program allows students to earn academic credit and learn valuable work skills. Students who participate in this internship abroad program will also be greeted by AustraLearnin country for a two-day group orientation.
Custom Designed Internships Custom designed internships are available for students who cannot participate in the standard PDAC program. These very independent placements do not include credit, the AustraLearn Program Introduction, or group flight arrangements. Students applying for Custom Designed Internship placements that seek academic credit must arrange credit through their home university. Academic requirements must be provided to AustraLearn with the student’s application. Additional fees may apply for coordinating academic assessment. Program Details Program Inclusions Other Information Internship Abroad Programs Performing an internship in Australia or New Zealand is a once in a lifetime opportunity for any student. Not only will it enhance your professional abilities, but students will enjoy the experience of life in another country. Our standard and summer internship program choices allow students to intern in an English-speaking area rich in culture. They are immersed in the varied cultures and lifestyles of Australia and New Zealand residents. An internship abroad in this region helps to cultivate well-rounded citizens with a solid foundation of career specific skills.
Not Just Fun and Games As entertaining and lively as a New Zealand or Australian internship can be, it is also a great way for a student to learn work skills. Our programs offer top notch opportunities which ensure participating students are fully prepared when they enter the work force. Because internships are not as common in Australia and New Zealand, students are viewed more as full time employees and are not subject to much of the busy work associated with internships in the US. This offers a rare opportunity for students to prepare for their future occupations while enjoying the unique experiences of life as international citizens.
