Although there are numbers of surfboard factories in Sydney, it is not easy to find a job without a skill or a recommendation by right people. Therefore, at “FILTER’ we introduce a paid internship to graduate students if they wish to. It will help to start the greatest career after finished the course. The applicants must hold a valid Australian student visa or working holiday visa to obtain paid internship by Australian law.
We can help students to find accommodations or even pick-up from airport.
The ‘FILTER’ is located at Mona Vale (NSW Australia), which is the center of surf industry in Australia. Naturally it is only 5 minutes from the famous surf spot.
