One of the best things that a skilled tradesperson can possess in Australia is positive TRA skill assessment results. This shows that you are qualified and experienced as per Australian standards to employers and visa officers. 

However, the majority of individuals end up not utilising the TRA assessment beyond migration purposes, even though it has the potential to determine the course of their careers. The following are some ways of going about it practically. 

Read and Understand Your TRA Assessment Outcome Letter 

The TRA assessment outcome letter requires you to read it and understand its contents. The TRA skills assessment result letter must be opened by you because it contains your trade skill eligibility determination. The document shows the exact ANZSCO code together with the corresponding occupation title.                                                                                                                

The positive outcome shows that TRA confirmed your ability to perform skills at the standard required for skilled work. You should create multiple copies, which you must keep. The letter serves as your document for all resume, cover letter, and visa application processes. 

Add Your TRA Result to Your Resume and LinkedIn Profile 

Australian employers respect verified trade skills. The resume needs immediate updates. The qualifications or skills section needs a new line that writes "Positive TRA skill assessment for [Trade] – ANZSCO [Code], Issued [Year]" as a statement. Include it in your LinkedIn headline and summary: “Qualified [Trade] with Positive TRA assessment – Ready for Australian Projects.” 

The outcome letter needs to be shared with your profile as a document that shows your results, but keeps your personal information confidential. The keywords that recruiters use to search for candidates. Your contact with them improves through this method. After this update, many tradespeople secure better-paying positions within a few weeks. 

Target Jobs That Match Your TRA Outcome 

Your TRA assessment result guides your job search. You should apply for trade certification jobs if TRA assessed you with a full-skilled level. Your job search should focus on construction and mining and manufacturing and maintenance and infrastructure positions. You should not apply for jobs that fall below your assessed capability. 

You should use the assessment outcome to develop your training requirements and bridging program needs. The TRA skills assessment helps you focus on realistic, high-value opportunities. The system helps you avoid spending time on jobs that do not match your skill set.
