English Language Company is famous for its work programs for students. Depending on your visa options, there are four programs you can choose from:

Four great work programs

  • Student Work Assistance Program (SWAP)
    We help students find part-time work through our unique Student Work Assistance Program (SWAP). If you are on a student visa , you can work part time (up to 40 hours per fortnight) while you study full time and if you are on a working holiday visa, this program will help you find a part-time job during your course or prepare for your work search in the second part of your working holiday experience.
  • Work and Travel Company (WTC)
    We have teamed up with Australia’s largest employment agency for working holiday makers, Work and Travel Company. If you have a working holiday visa become a member and receive all their services including access to paid work.
  • Conservation Volunteering
    If you want to visit places tourists don’t normally see, including remote areas, and have the chance to make a volunteer contribution to improving the Australian environment, join our conservation volunteering program. This program is open to applicants on all visa types and is also a great way to travel on a budget.
  • Professional Internship
    If you want to get valuable work experience in your chosen profession we can organize a professional internship for you. You will need to be on a Working Holiday visa or meet the eligibility requirements for a Special Program Visa.
