To apply, the following must be received by AustraLearn prior to the designated deadline:

• A complete application (hard copy or online)
• $30 USD application fee payable to AustraLearn
• Current official transcript(s)
• Personal statement
• Cover letter and resume
• Two letters of reference

There are no guarantees that you will be placed in an internship. If you do not meet the requirements for a PDAC internship, or if the dates do not fit your academic schedule, you should consider a Custom Designed Internship as eligibility requirements vary from the PDAC program. Please contact the Internship Coordinator for details.

You can send in all application items together or piece-by-piece and let us take care of organizing it for you. Once your application is complete and the program deposit is paid, your application will be sent overseas for placement. The decision time on applications is generally 3-4 weeks, although it can sometimes take longer. If your application does not meet the requirements, you may be considered for a Custom Designed Internship. Acceptance into an AustraLearn program is not guaranteed as decisions are determined by the internship sites.

Our internship coordinator is available to consult on specific placement opportunities. Because applications are accepted on a rolling basis, some sites may already be full at the time of your application.

Call 1-800-980-0033 Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (MST) if you have any questions.

APPLICATION FORM

Complete the application form (front and back) including all required signatures. You can also apply online by creating a MyLearn account. 

MANDATORY WEB ACCESSIBLE EMAIL ADDRESS

In order to best communicate with you throughout the application process and your program abroad, we require every student to establish and maintain through the pre-departure process and during the study abroad program, a universally accessible Internet email account. In addition to sending you emails, your MyLearn account will be updated regularly with announcements and application/program status changes.

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT

Order one official transcript from your home university or community college. You must, at minimum, be at the start of your junior year for a PDAC placement. For Custom Designed placements, you can submit a high school
transcript if you have not yet completed any college-level courses. If you are a transfer student and have only just completed your first semester at your home university, please send a copy of your previous university or college results. Transcripts must be official.

TWO LETTERS OF REFERENCE

You will need to obtain two separate letters of reference on letterhead from an academic advisor or professor. Once completed, they can be mailed directly to our office or, if in electronic form, you can upload them to your MyLearn account.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Obtain four 2” x 2” photographs (of your head and shoulders). Black and white or color are both acceptable. These are for identification purposes on several forms and must be sent with your application. Please write your name on the back of each photo.

RESUME AND COVER LETTER 

Please submit a current one-page resume and a cover letter along with your application. You should focus your cover letter on describing the type of internship you are seeking and your goals for that internship. Please refrain from referencing a specific internship placement in your cover letter. This will ensure that the letter is applicable for more than one placement site. Click here for more advice on writing your resume and cover letter.

APPLICATION FEE

Write a check for $30 USD payable to AustraLearn. Canadian students should obtain a USD bank draft. This fee can be paid online by credit card if you use the online application. The application fee is non-refundable.
