Career Support

Career information to support New Migrants and people with English as a second language

Are you a new migrant or a South Australian with English as a second language and looking for a job or a new career path?

When moving to a new country or navigating a new system with English as a Second Language it can be very difficult to make choices about which course to study, how to present your resume and how to find work.

We understand this can be a challenging time – there are many changes in your life, and big decisions to make.

Student Success and Wellbeing are available to support TAFE SA students as you think about what course to study, how to best identify your skills, how to create a resume that will be suitable for jobs in Australia, build local networks and how to prepare for interviews.

Our “Kick-Start your Career” Series has more information available about all aspects of career planning and job preparation.
