Students 2021

[koru_ph]

It's a new year. 

Crazy to think it's been almost a full year since NZ closed its borders. The silver lining is that the blended learning options have made some high value courses more affordable. 

We're helping people get back on track with a special offer on our professional fees for students. Basically, if you sign on in January and start an online course by 31 March 2021, we'll offer a full rebate on our professional fees. 

Who is this ideal for?
- Year 12 graduates unable to start university locally
- People interested in taking a course delivered completely online (ie not planning to use it for migration, but simply to upskill)
- People interested in starting a course online them completing it in NZ (may be eligible for a post-study work visa)

hello po

possible ba to study health care management but graduate sa pinas ng management accounting. Change sana ng career since ang healthcare ngayon is really in demand.

Salamat

dolly09 Pwdeng pwde. You can end up as a Caregiver or Support Worker which currently has pathways to Permanent Residency. However I'm yet to meet one who actually became a PR from those pathways kasi bago lang siya and the backlog is very long and there's an unofficial freeze. Talk to koru_ph licenced immigration advisor yan if I'm correct. It's best din suyurin mo lahat ng post dito kasi nakapa comprehensive niya and the best of all its free. Oras lang puhunan

divhon my partner studied healthcare services management and got residency as support worker lead (ANZSCO 411715). Lodgement was before pa naging excepted occupation ang caregiver and support worker.

Tick na tick ang student pathway timeline

Hindi imposible pero talagang nakakaloka ang naging paghihintay.


If caregiver/SW pathway, mas okay ito (in my opinion) na diploma:
www.nzse.ac.nz/healthcare/diploma-in-community-healthcare-and-support

This is equivalent to level 4 health and wellbeing certificate na needed for the highest payscale sa caregivers and SWs na aabot na minimum for skilled migrant category residency.

Yung healthcare services management diploma won’t do as it is sa caregiving/support work because it’s not considered as equivalent sa certificate needed sa highest pay scale. At most para magamit siya is dapat may nursing degree background which gets you to level 3 and yung cultural competency component ang huhugutin sa DHSM for level 4 pay equity.

May blanket level 3 equivalence sa mga nursing degrees from select countries www.health.govt.nz/new-zealand-health-system/pay-equity-settlements/care-and-support-workers-pay-equity-settlement/pay-equity-and-qualification-equivalencies/qualifications-assessed-equivalence/overseas-nursing-qualification

And meron ding iilang mga Philippine degrees na considered as level 4 for pay equity purposes (some psychology, social work, medicine, radtech, midwifery degrees et al on this list: www.health.govt.nz/new-zealand-health-system/pay-equity-settlements/care-and-support-workers-pay-equity-settlement/pay-equity-and-qualification-equivalencies/qualifications-assessed-equivalence/international-qualifications

Yung DHSM though ay magagamit if team lead level jobs and above (practice manager, facility manager, house leader, etc) like for our situation but he took 3 years to get to that level) tapos inabot pa ng pagkahaba-habang queue ng residency applications.

Ang pinaka-OK na strategy though currently (for me again) is mag-aral ng something that would lead to a job na required ang registration and would pay enough for residency (ahem nursing?). Ang mahirap naman sa pathway na ito is mahirap tantyahin ang pabagu-bagong policies... baka sa susunod pala ay di na sila priority? Who knows...

Ang mahirap sa mga jobs na non-priority is mauubos na ang visa duration mo, wala pa ring kasiguraduhan ang future mo sa NZ..... @_@

Pasensya na if medyo may tinge ng negativity pero as in... grabe kasi yung mga nagaganap ngayon na realidad.

support worker lead same lang ba sila sa mga coordinators gumagawa ng roster and nagaalocate ng clients?

The one that I heard from our area na nakakuha ng RV as support worker is Mental SW daw. 4 years ago na un.

Rostering hindi, that’s not part of the ANZSCO pero part nung house leader job description as on call person.

Yung main big tasks ng higher level support worker is

- assessing clients' needs and planning, developing and implementing educational, training and support programs
- interviewing clients and assessing the nature and extent of difficulties
- monitoring and reporting on the progress of clients
- referring clients to agencies that can provide additional help

May position sa workplace namin na nag-fit yang description so nakapasok.

It will highly depend kung paano yung structure ng workplace and kung paano divided yung work amongst superiors.

Hindi rin kami mental health.

And the biggest thing na need i-prove is hindi nagke-cares... kasi yun yung main/biggest difference ng skill level 2 support worker sa skill level 4.

Thanks for tagging me divhon.

dolly09 gaya ng nasabi nila, possible naman. Mas mahirap lang nga makakuha ng student visa. Generally nirerecommend ko talaga gumamit ng licensed adviser kung magpapalit ka ng industry.

Kung gusto mo magexplore ng options at malaman pano nagcoconnect yung student, work and SMC na visas schedule tayo ng consultation. Wala naman bayad :)
