Indus Institute is an amazing platform where you learn the Australian workplace skills(soft skills). The most thing is that Indus Institute provides the board room for lectures instead of class rooms and seperate rooms for meetings and interviews, so they prepare you for the workplace before you actually go to internship. Trainers and Inustry director work hard for you to prepare for resume and interviews. So eventually you become a confident professional to face the interviews and able to communicate confidently with your team members and manager at your host company.
