Rick describes Australia as “a warm, beautiful, clean, nice
country with heaps of natural environment.” And as an environmental science
graduate, he knows what he is talking about.
“Environmental study is
very famous in Australia. Australian education is recognised all over the world.
You can get a job wherever you want,” he said.
Rick finished his TAFE
studies in the Australian Capital Territory at the end of last year. He enjoyed
a small class size of just 20 students and says that 17 of those now have jobs
related to the course. Rick is one of the students who found it easy to gain
employment. He suggests that other international students think about trying to
find work experience in Australia.
“If you get working experience in
Australia it will help you and be good for your future,” he said.
Rick
also advises that students aim for high marks. “If you finish the study with a
good mark you will impress the employers more.” But he adds: “Be ready to enjoy
the studying and have fun in Australia.”
