Orientation
All interns will participate in a mandatory orientation, taking place ONLY in Sydney, shortly after their arrival in Australia. This orientation, usually held three days a week, provides useful information about the Australian work place and culture as well as information about your host company. The orientation is given in small groups of 1 to 5 interns to allow for discussion and the opportunity to ask questions and address concerns.

** Participants are only required to go to one 3-4 hour-long session.

Accommodations
Participants first two nights in a hostel are included with the program, but participants are more than welcome to stay longer at their own expense. Hostels are a great setting to meet new people. The hostel that participants will be staying in is centrally located, so participants will have the opportunity explore Sydney a little.
