English for Work

For many students around the world, the Working Holiday Visa is a great opportunity to travel across Australia and experience life Down Under! On Student Visas, too, you can normally work for up to 20 hours per week.

To really make the most of your time working around the country, it’s important that you can use your English in real life work situations.

Our English for Work program is specifically designed to help students who already have an intermediate level of English to find casual or part-time jobs and then “hit the ground running”!

The 2-week program focuses on the practicalities of getting a job – and on really practical language skills for the most popular types of casual work.
