Australia is one of the few developed countries in the world still looking for well educated people in many skilled areas to join the work force. The aging population, the booming economy and high rate of growth experienced by the country requires more skilled people to join the work force.
Those who study in Australia at tertiary level are preferred by Australian employers as they are already conversant with the "Australian Ways of Working". These factors coupled with excellent internally accepted educational records of most Australian universities are what make enterprising young people from developing countries like Sri Lanka more attracted to pursue post secondary studies in Australia.
When selecting a course to study in Australia by those keen to join the Australian work force, they must give due consideration to the career that will follow on completion of studies. The ability to live and work in Australia will mainly depend on employability, especially the demand a skill has amongst prospective employers. From time to time the required skills by the country, the states and territories are published and only those who meet such skill criteria obtain an opportunity to seek residency and pursue a career in Australia.
Being a country rich in mineral resources, highly industrialised and giving priority to environmental factors, Australia obviously is an ideal country for those in almost all fields of Engineering. As in most developed countries it also gives high priority to health and as such all health related careers too are in high demand. Education, Accounting, Legal and Construction are some of the other areas that offer high employability. Students who wish to pursue tertiary studies should seek guidance from experienced counsellors before selecting a course of study in Australia and we at Edlocate have highly experienced and skilled counselling staff who can guide students.
As Bob Katter the independent MP in the present parliament in Canberra said in a recent email he originated with regard to new migrants, "Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants did in the past!" - ability to communicate very well in English is an essential factor with regard to employability. It is correct that the level of English at IELTS for migration purposes has been increased from past levels. Merely getting IELTS score to apply for migration will not get you the career you aspire to have with job satisfaction and deserved remuneration unless you are very good in English.
Students must make every attempt to be fully conversant with all aspects of English communication before embarking on getting employed. Edlocate counsellors are conscious of this requirement and will always guide students with less than adequate English skills to improve even before they proceed on studies.
When selecting a course and an Australian university to do tertiary studies there are a number of important considerations that should be made by students and parents. Competent and experienced counsellors at Edlocate are always aware of the importance of all parties making the right decision. This is the reason why we at Edlocate encourage parents at counselling sessions, provide any number of meetings with no limitation on time and always willing to give due consideration to concerns expressed at such sessions. Australian Dollar is comparatively higher at present.
There are many openings for students with excellent results at GCE A/L or those with a very good first degree to secure many scholarships offered by universities at undergraduate and post graduate studies thus bringing the total cost of tuition down. Australian universities offer scholarships mainly on academic merit and we could always help deserving students to get such scholarships.
We could offer good pathways to students with insufficient direct entry results. We could guide those parents to educate their children in Australia without having undue financial burdens. We at Edlocate have provided an unblemished service for over a decade to students in Sri Lanka to enter 16 Australian universities we represent & this has been our strength in the past and we are determined to continue in the future too. |
