| Included in the PDAC and PDNC Internship Program Fees The AustraLearn Bridging Cultures Program is our on-site orientation designed exclusively for AustraLearn PDAC and PDNC Internship students in Australia or New Zealand. You will arrive in Cairns or Wellington on your designated group flight and participate in this informative 2-day orientation. The Bridging Cultures Program includes a variety of sessions focused on providing you with information relating to the country and culture in which you will be living as well as the opportunity to explore some specific aspects of Australia or New Zealand through excursions.
Our unique Bridging Cultures Program will offer you the opportunity to not only meet other students who will be participating in the internship program, but it will also prepare you for the cultural changes that you may find while interning in Australia or New Zealand. Offered exclusively to AustraLearn PDAC and PDNC placement interns, our aim is to provide you with a sound introduction to the country while enjoying some of the exciting attractions.
