Registered Migration Agents Mohit Dhawan (MARN: 1910058) and Manveer Singh Sidhu (MARN: 2418580) sit down to explain exactly how the Job Ready Program works — from the day you finish your Certificate 3 all the way to getting your Skill Assessment Certificate and heading toward PR. 🇦🇺

💡 In this episode you'll learn:
👉 What is the Job Ready Program & who needs it
👉 The 4 steps — PSA, JRE, JRWA & Final Certificate
👉 Can you start on a student visa? YES — and why you should start IMMEDIATELY
👉 The 1,725 hours rule and how to track it
👉 The #1 mistake people make (working without registering with TRA)
👉 Changing employers — what you MUST do on Day 1
👉 Does paid leave count toward your hours? 🤔
👉 ABN vs TFN — which one works for Job Ready?
👉 What happens if your certificate expires?
