  • There are several courses that hone students to learn the skills in demand in Australia. This article will explain three courses that has high potential for a pathway to permanent residency in Australia. These three courses are commercial cookery, nursing and early childhood and care.

Commercial Cookery

There has been a been a huge call for hospitality workers in Australia these days. As people are going out to dine, there are not enough chefs and cooks to meet the demand. Owners of restaurants were reliant on international chefs but there are less people coming in and a few qualified ones within Australia.

Commercial cookery then is a good course to study. Many opportunities will open to international students locally trained in this area. The need for chefs and cooks has been listed in the skilled occupation list for 2021.

The ideal courses you can enrol to start honing your skills are:  Cert III or Cert IV in Commercial Cookery and Diploma of Hospitality Management. It would usually take around 24 months to finish these courses together.

Nursing

There is a shortage nurses globally and in Australia. This is true prior COVID-19 and all the more during the pandemic. A way of meeting this need is to increase the number of students studying nursing and employ them after graduation.

In Australia you can pursue Diploma in Nursing or Bachelors of Nursing. The diploma course can be finished within two years and this will produce enrolled nurses. These nurses provide for the care and monitoring of patients. They would usually work under the supervision of a registered nurse.

Bachelors of Nursing, on the other hand, would produce registered nurses. Taking this course would usually take 3 years. After getting this degree, the student can make application to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) to practice as a Registered Nurse.

Both types of nurses are highly in demand in Australia.

Early Childhood Education and care

There is a strong and continuous need for qualified and skilled early childhood educators, and childhood workers in Australia.

There are different level of qualifications open to those who are interested in this skill. In order to become a child care worker or become a child care centre manager, the following courses can prepare one for it:

Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care

Certificate IV in School Age Education and Care

Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care

If one wants to pursue becoming an educator, then he or she has to study relevant bachelor qualification or higher.

Child care workers, child care centre manager and early childhood teachers are in the list of skillsets needed in Australia. Early childhood teachers and child care centre manager have opportunities for permanent residency.

Be wise in your studies
