Tafe Australia

Technical and continuing education (TAFE) is equivalent to junior college in China, and it is an education system based on the concept of lifelong learning. TAFE is based on practical ability and employment-oriented.

The Australian government stipulates that you can only engage in relevant technical work if you obtain TAFE certificate. Nowadays, there are more and more people with bachelor degree, double degree and high degree, and the competition in the job market is particularly fierce. The employment pressure brought by the expansion of enrollment also worries a large number of college graduates. It is not easy for students who have obtained undergraduate or master's degrees in Australia to find suitable jobs. However, market research has found that high-quality professional and technical personnel are more likely to find jobs or even high-paying positions than highly educated personnel. Get some TAFE professional diplomas, you can easily find employment or apply for immigration directly.

In Australia, the starting salary of TAFE students is about 20% lower than that of undergraduates with bachelor's degrees, while the salaries of dentists, chefs and other professionals are even higher than that of undergraduates. In view of this situation, Australia has launched the TAFE study abroad program to cultivate real high-quality technical talents for the market and provide broad development space for international students.

Five advantages of studying abroad in TAFE

1. Low entry barrier

The enrollment targets are students from three universities, high school graduates or college students, that is to say, as long as they have received at least 12 years of basic education in China, they can apply.

2. Choice is more flexible

The biggest advantage of TAFE is that TAFE can freely choose the following outlets after graduation:

Employment: The shortage of professional and technical personnel in Australia, fluent English and TAFE's good reputation among employers in various industries in Australia make TAFE graduates have strong professional competitiveness.

◆ Immigration: According to the existing immigration policy, many TAFE majors can get the highest immigration evaluation score (60 points), which can meet the requirements of emigrating to Australia after graduation. However, most professional undergraduate and master students have only 50 points in immigration assessment, which does not meet the immigration conditions.

◆ Continue to study in Australia: All TAFE graduates can apply for undergraduate studies in other Australian universities, and TAFE credits are recognized and transferred, with a maximum reduction of one and a half years' credits.

◆ Returning to China for development: TAFE majors are talents in short supply in the talent market, not only in Australia, but also in China. Even if you can't choose to return to China for development in the end, you can guarantee your usefulness as a technical talent.

3. Easy employment

In Australia, TAFE's diploma has a high reputation and is widely recognized by various industries, employers and universities. TAFE curriculum focuses entirely on the shortage of professional and technical talents in Australia, and emphasizes practicality and application more than domestic vocational education, so it is quite easy for students to find jobs after graduation.

4. Shorter time, lower cost and higher cost performance.

General study abroad TAFE study abroad

The annual tuition is 90,000 yuan/year and 60,000 yuan/year.

The guarantee fee is 550,000 ~ 600,000 and 200,000 ~ 300,000.

The employment prospect is difficult and easy.

From the above comparison, TAFE has obvious advantages. Moreover, TAFE students generally need to accumulate some internship experience, which makes their practical operation ability stronger and part-time jobs easier, greatly reducing the actual cost of going to school.

5. Rapid migration

Many TAFE majors can get the highest immigration assessment scores; Moreover, in order to protect your rights and interests in applying for immigration abroad, studying in Australia can help you with immigration procedures, making immigration more convenient and secure.

Introduction to some popular majors

vehicle maintenance and repair

Auto repair technicians are in short supply for Australian immigrants, with a maximum score of 75, and the employment prospects are very promising. Even in China, there is a great demand for this profession. In 2005, the number of cars in China has approached 1 100 million, and it is increasing at a rate of more than 10% every year. The corresponding automobile inspection and maintenance industry needs more senior technicians, but the proportion of senior technicians in China's automobile employees is only 10%, which is far lower than that in developed countries. Therefore, studying auto repair major is not only suitable for employment abroad, but also suitable for returning to China to start a business.

Dental technology

As we all know, dentistry has always been regarded as a sacred profession abroad. Similarly, the profession of dental assistant is quietly emerging. Because foreigners attach great importance to dental care, the market demand in this area has been in short supply. Due to the serious shortage of dental assistants, it often takes a week to make an appointment for dental examination abroad.

There is also a shortage of dentists in China at present. China has a high rate of dental patients, while China has one dentist for every 50,000 to 65,438+10,000 people, the United States has one dentist for every 1600 people, the Republic of Korea has one dentist for every 4,000 to 5,000 people, and Switzerland has one dentist for every 700 to 800 people.

Air conditioning and refrigeration

The number of people engaged in air-conditioning installation, maintenance and refrigeration in Australia is 1.53 million (statistics in February 2004), with an average annual salary of more than 40,000 yuan. Employees have to go through a series of technical training to complete the relevant work, so they have always been listed as occupations in short supply of immigrants.

Commercial chef

Commercial chefs are in short supply in Australia, and immigrants can get full marks. The employment rate is close to 100%. In addition to food science, chemistry, nutrition, food hygiene and other knowledge, chefs should also study arts and crafts, sculpture, calligraphy, sketch and other courses. They are not only food technicians, but also artists! Chef will be a very popular profession in Australia in a few years. In addition to studying catering courses, students can also continue to study the Higher Diploma in Hotel Management, and the corresponding credits are recognized by Australian public universities, which means that students can go directly to the university to continue their studies for 6 months to 1 year, and finally get a bachelor's degree.
