JOB CLUB
This program offers access to paid work whilst in Australia. It is an add-on program to any study course at Phoenix Academy and is usually undertaken after completing an appropriate English program. Full-time paid work is mostly available in the country areas (outside metropolitan Perth) with more limited opportunities for full-time work in the city. Part-time work is readily available in the city. Most applicants will only be eligible for unskilled positions (eg fruit picking, food processors, cleaners etc). Some applicants will be able to be classified as semi-skilled or skilled (eg chefs, mechanics, welders etc) and access higher wages. However, eligibility for jobs will depend on English competence and Recognition of overseas qualifications. Phoenix will advise on each applicant’s best work opportunities. Applicants will receive a Job Ready Package and briefing during their study period. For those wanting to work during their study, Phoenix provides access to part-time jobs in the Perth metropolitan area in the evening or on weekends.
