Work experience in Sydney
LISA! course participants have the opportunity of combining their 4-week language course in the busy metropolis of Sydney with unpaid work experience in a company. Your stay in Sydney will not only allow you to immerse yourself into a new and interesting culture, but taking part in work experience will also enable you to get an insight into Australian enterprise structure. Our course participants will live and work with Australians and immigrants from all around the world. You will experience cosmopolitan co-operation in the everyday hustle and bustle of an Australian company. Work experience in Sydney is a unique opportunity to secure an advantage in business knowledge and competence, which will prove to be of invaluable professional benefit.

You are allowed to do any kind of work of a temporary or casual nature,

You are given a Working Holiday Maker visa once in your life, so this
is a unique opportunity to make the most of your language course and
work experience.
For further information on the Working Holiday Maker program, please
visit the Australian Embassy on www.immi.gov.au.
To apply for your visa, please visit the Australian Embassy on www.immi.gov.au. The visa will cost about £ 106.
We also recommend that you take out adequate travel insurance, please contact our

Requirements
The work experience we offer is exclusively for students between 18 and 30 who are highly motivated and speak very good English. Participants must be able to speak English fluently and communicate in written and oral business English. We recommend students who have an intermediate level of English participate in one of our language courses for the duration of 8 to 12 weeks. Your Working-Holiday-Visa will enable you to work between 4 and 12 weeks with each employer. As this kind of visa is usually given for one year, you will be able to take part in several work experiences with different employers.
Your application
We recommend that you send us your application before setting
out on your trip. The companies will require a LISA! school certificate
which you will receive on completion of your language course, your CV
containing a passport photo, and a letter in support of your application
which states your motivation and interest in work experience.
By the end of your language course, a member of staff will have found
a suitable placement for you. You will then have a job interview with
your prospective employer.
We cannot guarantee work experience in a particular field although we
will do our best to comply with applicants’ needs.
Administration fees
Administration charge: For a duration of maximum 4 weeks you will be charged 800 AUS$; from 4 to 12 weeks 1125 AUS$, both payable directly to the school.
In the event of cancellation of the Internship Programme after the confirmed
date by the client (but before a first interview with a prospective host
employer has been arranged), a 250 AUS$ cancellation
fee
will
apply. There
will be no refund of the Administration fees once an interview has been
arranged.
In the unlikely event that we are unable to find the right placement
for you, we will be happy to refund the full administration charge for work
experience.
Accommodation
For the duration of your work experience, you can book your accommodation with a host family, in a single room (SR) with halfboard (HB) for £ 253 per week; or in a residence, in a single room for £ 170 or double room for £ 109. We recommend that you book your accommodation when booking your language course to avoid a late-booking fee of £ 110.
Personal attention
Our team in Sydney is anxious to look after students’ needs and
interests as attentively as possible.
As places in the companies in Sydney
are restricted, we recommend an early application to avoid disappointment.
