‘High school graduate lang ako’: Pinoy welder, ibinahagi ang hirap ng proseso bago makapasok bilang boilermaker sa NSW

Despite having only a high school diploma, Ronald’s 12 years of hands-on experience in the Philippines allowed him to pass the intense screening required to work as a professional Boilermaker, a specialised trade essential to Australia’s infrastructure.

Pinatunayan ni Ronald Quilang na hindi hadlang ang kawalan ng diploma sa kolehiyo basta’t may de-kalidad na kasanayan, matapos niyang malampasan ang mahigpit na trade assessments para makamit ang 482 visa at maging katuwang sa pagbuo ng mga imprastraktura sa Australia.


Key Points
  • Sa kabila ng pagiging high school graduate, ang 12 taong karanasan ni Ronald sa Pilipinas ang naging susi niya upang pumasa sa matinding screening at kilalanin bilang isang propesyonal na Boilermaker, isang krusyal na trabaho sa industriya ng metal fabrication sa Australia.
  • Ipinamalas ni Ronald ang pagsisikap nang mapagtagumpayan niya ang nakaka-pressure na English Language Test at ang masalimuot na dokumentasyon na madalas kinatatakutan ng ilang aplikante.
  • Bilang bahagi ng lumalagong komunidad ng mga Pilipino sa Temora, New South Wales, sinabi ni Ronald na ang pagtatrabaho sa regional areas ay isang magandang pagkakataon para sa mga migranteng nais magsimula ng bagong kabanata.
