Australian Business Essentials

ABE is a hybrid, self-paced program blending online learning with hands on experience. Over seven weeks, you’ll complete three online modules, participate in in-person volunteer work and engage in activities designed to reinforce your learning. The modules will help you understand the cultural nuances of the Australian workplace, develop effective communication strategies, and confidently present your skills and experiences in professional settings.

Between modules, you’ll put your knowledge into action by completing activities and volunteering at a local not for profit, allowing you to connect with the community while honing your skills in a real-world environment.

ABE is designed to provide you with practical tools and confidence to help you thrive in your professional journey. While not a requirement, ABE is suited to new students seeking to gain an early edge in understanding the Australian workplace in a supportive, community-focused environment.
