Practical Placement Program

Get Closer to Your Dream Job!

Studyandwork.com.au has developed an exciting "paid work experience program" called Practical Placement Program to assist you kick-start your career in Australia. The Practical Placement Program is designed to assist:

Aspiring recent graduates looking to start or strengthen careers in their area of study
New professional skilled migrants with established overseas track records looking to enter the Australian workforce

If you are a recent graduate with limited or none relevant work experience, you may find it quite challenging to secure a break into your career job and the job hunting process may take you several months without leading to a fruitful outcome. If you are an international student on Graduate Skilled Visa, you have a very short window of opportunity to secure a year of professional work experience in order to qualify for Permanent Residence Visa.

If you are a recent skilled migrant to Australia, you may be surprised to learn that it may easily take you 6-12 months or longer to secure an appropriate career position after relocating here. You could be one of those many talented and highly qualified individuals who are grossly under-employed after moving to Australia. In fact, many overseas professionals effectively see their careers end in Australia from lack of cultural awareness or from poor career transition skills.

Most recruitment agencies will not entertain recent graduates and skilled migrants due to lack of local Australian work experience and you must have realised by researching jobsites that the majority of job vacancies are handled by recruitment agencies. The good news is, while they say NO to your job application, at Studyandwork.com.au we say WHY NOT?

Studyandwork.com.au has helped many recent graduates and skilled migrants secure job and career outcomes that were previously unattainable through their own efforts. Practical Placement Program offers aspiring graduates and skilled migrants a rare opportunity to facilitate their transition from study or overseas profession to successful full-time career job in Australia.

Practical Placement Program helps you gain a year of guaranteed work experience in your qualification relevant profession within reputed Australian companies. We will manage your career for a year while you get paid an annual salary of between $35K-$60K depending on the job and your skills.

Studyandwork.com.au works with quality employers - small, medium & large - from various industries that value your skills, see you as an investment, are willing to train you on the job, and they encourage diversity & equal employment opportunity in the workplace.

Our Service Commitment

Our aim is to build a long-term relationship with you. The foundation of this relationship is our Service Commitment - to anticipate and meet your expectations.

Acting as your Career Manager, we work in your best interest to ascertain that you achieve the best out of the practical placement opportunity. We screen the host companies carefully before we engage our participants with them for professional work experience. We educate the host company in terms of practical placement concept, procedure, benefits to them and their obligations to the participants.

However, in spite of our diligence, the best of intentions and certain situations beyond our control, participants may face some problems/issues during the employment with the host company. In such a case, we follow the below mentioned procedures to achieve a successful complaint resolution:

We'll request you to lodge a written complaint by completing Intern Grievance Notification Form.
We'll invite you to our office for a face to face discussion with your Placement Consultant
We'll listen to your complaint (we'll put ourselves in your position)
We'll ask you for documentary evidence to verify the facts. You must supply a copy of your Work Diary outlining the activities experienced during the practical placement.
We'll verify the validity of your complaints against the statement provided by the host company and the terms & conditions of Practical Placement Program you have agreed to during enrolment.
We'll achieve a win-win situation. If the complaint is deemed valid, we'll take suitable measures to rectify the situation OR organize a replacement practical placement OR agree on a partial refund of the paid program fees.

Our aim is to make you happy by all means. We're not happy unless you are!

Start Date

Practical Placement opportunities are available throughout the year, but we recommend you to apply at least 2 months before your intended start date. This enables us to find you the most suitable job opportunity, organise interviews, confirm placement and develop a training plan with the host company.

However, please note that we cannot guarantee your placement thus you must continue your personal job search through other means.
