Work Ready - volunteer with us

Are you passionate about helping international students thrive in the workplace?

The Work Ready Project recruts Student Support Volunteers as part of the International Student Employment and Accommodation Legal (ISEAL) program, supported by Study Melbourne.


 It has been a truly rewarding experience volunteering in this project.

Throughout my time with the project, I have actively participated in all meetings and contributed to the best of my ability. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to be part of this initiative and the chance to support international and migrant students. — Gulrez, volunteer
