Thanks John, plenty of of food for thought, I agree I have missed the boat with the wind farm industry in SA, in the right place at the wrong time unfortunately. Plenty of work on the windfarms in Sydney and Melbourne but not FIFO. Fortunately my wife just secured a role as environmental health officer, two interviews and two job offers........I've applied for 59 jobs and had one interview, I'm somewhat pigeon holed in my trade as a high voltage and protection engineer which in oz requires the electrical license to practice. Trying to keep my chin up. cheers for the info. all the best.

Hi, I recently arrived in Adelaide on a 189 visa and am looking for an apprenticeship as an electrician. I'm an electrical engineer by trade but need to get my electrical license. I would greatly appreciate any opportunities that anybody knows of as I am desperate to work but am struggling to find work due to the lack of the license. My skills are currently being assessed by Peer Veet and they think I could get on to the third or fourth year of the apprenticeship due to my industry experience. I'm hard working, reliable and desperate to get the old grey matter working. Happy to do any kind of electrical work, house bashing, industrial, mining I am open to any opportunity. thanks in return.

Thanks for the reply NicF, I'll be having a look now

Hi everybody, myself and family have just moved to Adelaide today and are looking at high schools for my daughter(16), can anybody tell me anything(good or bad) about Le Fevre high school in Semaphore? I would really appreciate any info. Many thanks in advance.
