Johannes from Namibia is an experienced mechanic of heavy farming equipment. Johannes lodged his resume with Sponsor-Connect seeking a sponsor for mechanic or mechanical engineer. Through proactive search by in house recruiters a couple of suitable and eligible sponsors were found in regional NSW. One of the potential sponsors had an immediate need for a heavy farming equipment mechanic owing to skills shortages in the region. A temporary work visa was organised for Johannes and his family and within a few months of working with the sponsor, Johannes lodged permanent residence (direct entry) application, for which grant was eventually given to Johannes and his family.
