Gone are the days when an MBA or a beautician?s course in any Australian educational institution would have fetched a dream job for Indians. Now, technical trade courses like plumbing, carpentry or masonry are what could help an Indian earn a permanent residency (PR) Down Under.
There is a huge shortage of technically qualified manpower in the fields of painting, carpentry, brick laying (mason) and plumbing, and electricians. Not only would one get a PR after a two-year course in any of these disciplines but also get a handsome monthly income.
The minimum eligibility for students aspiring for a higher education in these technical trades is having passed Class XII and a score of 5.5 in International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
