Students who go abroad for studies are sometimes faced with fears of being unable to cope with the different cultures and environments. On top of that, they deal with employment hindrances that would sometimes lead them to question their professional competence.
We all know the factor of acquiring relevant experience. It’s one of the major marks you need to achieve especially when your goal is to follow the study, work, and live route.
So, if you want to take the most guaranteed way of skill learning and application―hopefully giving yourself a chance to obtain the PR visa, read this post until the end and find out the best study + paid internship programs for Filipino international students.

Are you an aspiring Filipino nurse? This offer is by far the best option yet offered here in Fil-Global for nurses (including nursing graduates) who wish to be part of the British healthcare system.

Academia - Australia

Both of the programs above have no IELTS and show money requirements.
