Connecting Skilled Welders from the Philippines to Australia
Dizon & Associates recently led an international recruitment for welders project that connected skilled tradespeople from the Philippines with employers in Wollongong and regional Australia.
To identify the right talent, our team worked closely with a trusted partner in the Philippines to host a two-day testing and assessment event for 25 shortlisted candidates. The goal was simple: to find skilled, motivated tradespeople ready to step into opportunities in regional Australia.
Each participant took part in practical assessments designed to highlight their technical ability, attention to detail and readiness to meet Australian standards.

Thirteen Welders Chosen for Life-Changing Roles
From the group, 13 exceptional welders were selected for employment in Australia. When they were told the news, there were smiles, tears and a few moments of disbelief as the reality of what lay ahead began to sink in. A lighthearted reminder of the new chapter waiting for them on Australian shores.
The success of this project shows what can be achieved when compliance, collaboration and compassion come together – all for the benefit of both Australian employers and the people eager to contribute to their industries.



Partnership and Purpose at Every Stage
The event brought together two dedicated teams: one in Australia and one in the Philippines. Working together made it possible to assess candidates on the spot and complete the process efficiently while keeping full compliance at the forefront.
