PROGRAM SERVICES
We help you get the most from your Professional Year
With each of our programs, we offer additional training and courses, software, activities and networking events to maximise your experience with us. Set yourself up for career success with our exclusive services.
Orientation
To set you up for career success, we welcome all participants with an orientation. The orientation covers an overview of your enrolled program, the different support services we provide and participant expectations. Some of these include:
- Code of conduct: expectations of our participants, trainers and staff during your work-readiness training
- Student services: financial aid, counselling, complaints and appeals, etc
- Important policies and documents and where to find them
- Introducing the suite of platforms participants are expected to use throughout the program, such as the student portal, Moodle and SONIA
- Introduction and expectation of the internship placement transition process
Social activities and events
Creating rapport with fellow ACAP Professional participants is an important part of our programs. We seek to provide fun, interactive activities and events for you to socialise with each other, your trainers and support staff as you go through your career journey with us. These activities and events also provide a glimpse into the Australian workplace culture, which includes:
- Kahootz quizzes, charades and bingo activities
- Sausage sizzles (an Australian barbecue)
- Cultural events such as Easter, Halloween, Christmas and other cultural days
- Charity & supportive events such as “R U OK” day, Bridge to Brisbane, Room to Read and Classroom of Hope
- Career Assistance Workshops
Networking events
With the ever-competitive job market, ACAP Professional understands the importance of networks. As networking can provide you with opportunities to learn from industry leaders, meet new associates and find future employment.
We encourage all program participants to attend networking events (for some programs, this is a requirement) so that they learn how to do this naturally and effectively. Professional Year participants must attend at least two networking events as part of their work-readiness training. Common events our participants join are:
- CPA Career Expos
- CAA Evening Events
- EEA Chartered Workshop
- ACS Branch Forums
English Test Preparation
(IELTS/PTE-A)
We offer all new participants the choice of PTE-A or IELTS English test preparation training – at no additional cost.
