Moving to Australia with a level 6 in computing

Shivs123

I'm looking at moving to Australia for a few years next summer, I'll only have 2 years of college behind me. I'll have s level 6 in computing with it management.

Would there be my jobs over there with my qualifications?

I'm not sure what the job market would be like for your qualifications. I would imagine without experience you would struggle to get anything decent.
What visa do you intend to come over on? I assume it will be a working holiday as you wouldn't qualify for any other visa.
Due to the abolition of the 457 visa next year sponsorship will not be an option so your chances of staying past 2 years on a working holiday after doing regional work in your first year to stay for a second year would be slim.

My dad is Australian so I'll more than likely apply for citizenship before I go over.😊

That'll make it alot easier and make you more employable because you won't have to contend with visa restrictions.

This is an exageration. the 457 is being replaced by a more stringent visa not abolished. and there will still be alot of IT on the skills list as far as I can see -> Analyst Programmer, Computer Network & Systems Engineer, Developer Programmer, ICT Business Analyst, Software Engineer, Systems Analyst,

The problem is I think you need experiance now before you can get sponsored (but in reality this was always the case anyway)
https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/457-abolition-replacement
"a requirement for visa applicants to have at least two years’ work experience in their skilled occupation"
It sounds like you have a path to citizenship anyway like I had so happy days : ) Melbourne or Sydney are going to be your best options for IT work...
although things have slowed up over there compared to booming IT in ireland so you might be best get some experiance under your belt here first in reality..

I should have said sponsorship will not be as easy an option as it previously would have been.
Either way the OP will not be seeking sponsorship.

Fair enough.
