will87 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi, I am currently in the UK going through the process of getting my skills assessed. When entering Australia (Adelaide), I understand, after applying for relevant licenses, I will have to work for 1 year under supervision. Has anyone from the UK done this. And how easy/hard is it to find a company to take someone on in this situation. Any help would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmull87 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Its pretty much the same for us sparky's and from the replies I got it is doable. Probably on a lower wage but doable. I am told there are also local schemes when you arrive that will help you with getting licences etc. to the point of subsidised or even free training. I'm a little bit ahead of you in the process and also heading to Adelaide so im happy to share any info i find with you. I got some very good replies posting here also https://www.pomsinadelaide.com/forum/10-jobs-careers-vacancies/ If you have linkedin or seek apps make a note of companies that advertise for your skills. I doubt many tradies get jobs before landing but you can specifically target these companies when you arrive. Have a read here also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Ok thanks for the help. Yes I've just signed up to pomsinadelaide so I will post a similar question I think. Not many air con guys heading over anymore according to a migration agent I spoke to. That's good to know about possible subsidies as I know there are a couple licences I need to apply for. I'm expecting a lower wage when I start but hopefully it would rise quickly after the first year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
