Why is a teaching qualification considered 'gold'?

Australia is a top destination for international students pursuing a teaching career, offering world-class education, diverse cultural experiences, and strong job prospects. Pathways include a Bachelor of Education, Master of Teaching, and specialized programs like Graduate Diplomas and Special Needs Education, all accredited by AITSL. With growing demand for teachers across early childhood, primary, secondary, and special needs education, graduates benefit from hands-on learning, visa opportunities, and global recognition. Government initiatives further drive job growth, particularly in early childhood and inclusive education. By studying in Australia, aspiring teachers gain top-tier qualifications while making a meaningful impact on future generations.

Migration pathways to Australia are becoming increasingly difficult and anyone telling you that the process is easy would be outright lying to you. Despite the difficult nature of the migration options available, always seek professional advice and make sure it's not all 'YES' answers you want to hear. Caution should always be exercised and anyone guaranteeing you a result would definitely be lying (not to mention a breach of the Code of Conduct).

Australia is currently one of the safest nations in the world since the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic reared its head in December 2019. Blessed with no common borders with the rest of the world, Australians have been able to enjoy a safe environment due to strict border enforcement and genuine community spirit to follow government guidelines to prevent further spread of the virus in its community.

Post COVID-19, Australia will be a good country to consider opportunities for work life balance. Australian education has long been a pathway used by many to seek out opportunities after completing their studies in Australia. However, due to border closures since March 2020, this has prevented many from exploring this option.

If you are interested to find out more about this opportunity and do not want to delay your study plans, then contact us for more information. 

"The Australian government is inviting too many migrants when the companies here in Australia are not readily willing to take them on due to 'cultural differences' - companies rather hire their mates' mates" says T.C. who is a Senior Recruiter with a leading recruitment agency in Australia.

What is the comment above really trying to say?

Despite the many years provided by the Temporary Graduate visa to provide the visa holder to start their career journey, time does fly when the individual is faced with rejection after rejection because they did not understand what employers are looking for.

​

​

Candidates who are looking for a job in the market must present themselves to be 'attractive' in the 'eyes of the employer'.  There are specific areas of interest that an employer would zoom in on:

• Relevant experience

• Duration of each employment

• Academic background

• Referees

At any one time, an employer who has launched a recruitment campaign can receive over hundreds of CVs. What would make yours stand out? Have your picture professionally taken, rather than have a profile picture from your social media platforms. At the same time, align your information presented your CV to your LinkedIn profile.  Your CV shouold be concise, highlighting your skills and experience in a good 2-pager document.

If you are struggling to find local Australian workers to meet the demands of your growing business, you may be eligible to be a standard business sponsor (SBS).

An approved SBS holder will be given 5 years to be an eligible sponsor. A sponsored worker can be sponsored from 2 to 4 years (renewable) depending on the skilled occupation. This can provide stability to your business as the sponsored have obligations they need to meet in order to fulfil their visa conditions.

What would an employer needs to know about the SBS:

• How do I know if I qualify to be an SBS?

• What do I need to start the process of application?

• What are my obligations as a business sponsor?

• How do I know if a person is qualified to be sponsored?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Do you see yourself still at school or just starting out in the working world? If you can anticipate that, then you should already have a plan in place. If you don’t, then there are some fundamental questions in which you should attempt to answer to help you identify some of the areas of interests.  

• What are my interests?  Am I the creative type? Do I like working indoors or in the outdoors? Do I like working with data and details or do I like working with people?

• What are my strongest subjects in high school?

• What are some of my favourite subjects in high school?

• Do I see myself in a particular role/ job function in the future?

• What matters to me most in the future?

Taking you back to your current position, you need to have a checklist on what matters most to you?
