Australian Computer Society Professional Year Program (ACS PYP)
Developed by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), the Australian Computer Society Professional Year Program (ACS PYP) is delivered at our West Perth Campus, conveniently located in the heart of the CBD. This program combines formal learning and internship to equip international information and communications technology (ICT) graduates, from Australian universities, with the skills and training they need to enhance their career prospects.
Our internship is designed to equip you with practical skills and training to enhance your future employment opportunities. Upon completion of the Australian Computer Society Professional Year Program, qualifying graduates may be eligible to receive additional points under an eligible skilled occupation, as specified by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).
