The Importance of Self
AwarenessThe Importance of Self Awareness Continued…
USI in Tertiary Education
If you're starting at university this year, you’ll need a Unique Student Identifier (USI).
The pathways to higher education in Australia are as diverse and varied as students themselves.
However, this year, there's one thing most tertiary students have in common – they all need to
get a USI.
This becomes their education number for life. Students also require a USI to be eligible for
Commonwealth financial assistance, or a Commonwealth supported place.
As at 1 March 2021, over 11 million students have created a USI since 2015. The USI also allows VET
students to access one central online record of their Australian training achievements. Since
January 2021, the USI has been rolled out to higher education students. Students starting study in
2021 will need a USI to be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place (CSP) and
Commonwealth financial assistance, like HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP.
Continuing students are also encouraged to create their USI as soon as possible. From 1 January
2023, all students must have a USI to receive their qualification. This includes all students who
started their studies before 2021, and all onshore international students.
The process is being made easier for students in the admissions process. Some Tertiary Admission
Centres now request the USI on applications, and many higher education providers have asked
students for their USI when they enrol.
Visit usi.gov.au today!!5 Perks of Being a
Modern-Day Tradie
Let’s face it – tradies can get a bit of a bad rap here in Aus. People love to talk smack at the pub about not
needing to go to uni, having to wake up before sunrise, and the health benefits (or lack thereof) of the
stereotypical tradie’s breakfast. We’re here to tell you that talking down is pure jealousy. Here’s 5 reasons
why being a tradie is a great line of work:
Great Hours
People might give you flak for having to wake up super early, but guess what? You get to knock off early on the other
side. Remember when you’d have a day off school, and someone would take you to the shops and it was dead empty?
Have you ever had a couple of free periods and decided to go to the beach in the arvo? As a tradie you could be off
work by 3 and catching a wave by 3.30. Not to mention you get to beat the rush-hour traffic that all those 9-5 chumps
get.
And have you ever heard about call-out fees? If you’ve got good technical knowledge about fixing your essentials like
plumbers, or electricians, if people want work from you, they can’t wait for it – which means that while you might have
to get called out a weird hour, you get to make it worth your time.
Job Satisfaction
There’s something about actually creating something with your hands that you just can’t beat if you’re working a desk
job. When you’re building or repairing something, it’s not just a task – it’s a skill, it’s a craft, maybe even an art. It’s hard
work for sure, but once it’s done you can actually step back and look at what you’ve done, or even drive by years later
with an apprentice of your own and point out the stuff you’ve built in that neighbourhood. Take it from a desk jockey –
designing PowerPoints just isn’t the same.
You could also start a business and get to work for yourself. That’s right – your hours, your tools, and your work just the
way you like it.
Getting Paid to Learn
Let’s face it – if you’re looking to get a job in somewhere like media or the arts, you’re probably going to have to do an
internship or two. Internships are a great resource to learn stuff you don’t learn in high school or uni, and they’re often a
way to get your foot in the door. But, unfortunately, a lot of internships, especially at smaller companies often don’t offer
pay (even though it’s illegal). If you’re an apprentice, you get the same entitlements as other employees, such as annual
leave, sick leave, public holidays, and breaks.
There’s also off-the-job training including theory, which is structured work provided by a Registered Training Organisation
(RTO). It’s included in your ordinary hours of work, so you still get paid, even though you’re not working on a job!
It’s Less Stress to Work and Travel
Let me put it for ya this way: a brick in Sydney, is pretty much the same as a brick in Kingscliff. If you’ve got your own
business and gear and you’re licensed in that area, you can pretty much work anywhere your little heart desires. Pretty
much anywhere you go, people need professionals to design, build and repair stuff. Not to mention, finding a place
where there’s a gap in the market for you to build your own business is a great way to find success as a tradie. If you do
great work, build local relationships, and maintain a great reputation, you could really make a difference in people’s
lives.
No Two Days Are the Same
Every day provides a different challenge in construction. You could be waiting on someone else to finish their work before
you can start, or something has to be done before the weather takes a turn. Every job will have a different timeframe,
design, and budget, and it’s up to you as a professional to make it work any way you can.
Even beyond that, trade techniques, ideas, and equipment are constantly changing and evolving. There’s a huge
emphasis these days on low-impact design and construction, carbon offsets, and experimental materials to cut down
on electricity usage. There’s always something new to learn when you’re out on site – and despite what some people
might say, having a good head on your shoulders is vital to success.Go Your Own Way
