Study pathway ≠ SSW work pathway
A student visa is for education. Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) is a separate work route with its own language, skills and eligibility requirements. NILTI supports preparation for both—your counselor will explain which route fits your goals.
Post-arrival support includes guidance on settling in and understanding next steps; employment or a visa is never guaranteed.
