    Welcome to our community Adekunle 😊

    As a Carpenter and Cabinet Maker, you may be eligible for visa sponsorship under Australia’s skilled migration program, particularly under the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) or the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) visa (subclass 494) if you find an employer willing to sponsor you.

    Steps to Find a Sponsor

    1. Search for Sponsored Jobs

      • 482jobs.com – A great starting (one of our own sites) for visa sponsorship jobs as all listings offer visa sponsorship.
      • Seek Australia – Use keywords like “482 visa sponsorship” or “Carpenter sponsor.”
      • Indeed Australia – Similar to Seek, refine your search for sponsorship opportunities.
    2. Meet Skill & Licensing Requirements

      • Your occupation falls under ANZSCO 331212 (Carpenter) or ANZSCO 394111 (Cabinetmaker).
      • You may need a skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA): https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au.
      • Some states require a trade license to work in Australia as a carpenter.
    3. Apply for Jobs & Approach Employers

      • Contact construction companies, furniture manufacturers, and home builders.
      • Highlight your experience, qualifications, and willingness to relocate with a valid visa.
      • Use LinkedIn and networking to connect with potential employers.
    4. Consider Regional Sponsorship (Subclass 494)

      • More employers will likely sponsor you if you are open to working in regional Australia.

    Alternative Visa Pathways

    If you do not find employer sponsorship, you can check the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program, which includes:

    • Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) (if your occupation is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)).
    • Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) (requires state nomination).
    • Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) (requires state or regional nomination).

    If you need more guidance, feel free to ask. Good luck with your job search!
