Earning a university degree isn’t a bad idea, but it’s not for everyone. For certain professions, university degrees are required even for entry-level positions. Yet, a university degree isn’t necessary to make a good living.
There are many good reasons why you should consider a skilled vocational career: you gain experience immediately, the price tag is lower, it takes half the time, skilled trade or vocational experts make a good living, you get to do what you’re good at and there exists always a huge need for master trades people.
A skilled trade -vocational- career offers the same benefits as a white-collar profession without the cost of a degree. From cookery, to metal fabrication to plumbing or to information technology, the opportunities are endless.
With so many advantages to a trade or vocational career, it should be considered a more viable option in the professional world. Contact our Monkeys Team to learn more about trade careers and their potential opportunities, we are here to guide you how to take your career up to the next level!

“My consultant was very helpful and motivating. He helped me every step of the way, even when the deadline to apply for my visa was so close. I feel I could not have done it without him. I'd highly recommend this service to any and all of my many friends interested to study in Australia.

“As soon as I arrived to Brisbane, I was focused on getting a job in order to earn money for myself. I participated at one of the job seminars offered by Monkeys and that helped me to understand the system of employment here in Australia. Despite I am still studying I am currently employed by an IT company as a software developer. I am very grateful to Monkeys for providing me with the information and the opportunities to be employed in my profession.”
