Why Choose a Professional Internship?
The Biggest Challenge University Students, Graduates & Skilled Migrants Face in Australia
The Frustrating Paradox
Many students graduate with qualifications but struggle to find jobs. Unfortunately, many students face the frustrating paradox: “You need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience.”
Employers increasingly ask for:
- Australian Work Experience
- Industry Exposure
- Professional References
- Practical Skills
That's Where We Come In
At STUDY AND WORK, we bridge the gap between education and employment by helping students secure professional internships in their field of study.
This allows them to practice their skills to prove their worth to employers. We are a recruitment company that understands what employers are looking for and how to help candidates become job-ready.
