we changed our name
We were previously known as Navitas Professional and have now changed our name to ACAP Professional Year.
We continue to be part of the Navitas global education group and the change in name reflects our ongoing commitment to bridging the gap between higher education and successful career outcomes.
ACAP Professional Year is a professional development and education provider that helps tertiary graduates to access work placements, mentoring and training with respected Australian and global businesses. The Professional Year Program enables graduates to develop skills critical to grow their professional careers.
We deliver the Professional Year Program (PYP) to international Accounting, IT and Engineering graduates. We are the only education provider in Australia to offer the PYP in all three career disciplines in eight locations: Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. The PYP aims to build industry-specific and employability skills through a combination of coursework and internships.
