When Yuanshuo first arrived in Australia as a high school student on a Subclass 500 Student Visa, he was just a teenager adapting to a new country, a new language, and a new way of life.

But it didn’t take long for him to shine.

While most of his peers focused solely on exams and textbooks, Yuanshuo took on a part-time job at a local restaurant to support himself. What started as weekend shifts soon turned into something more: his colleagues noticed his unmatched work ethic, his calm under pressure, and his natural instinct in the kitchen and on the floor.

His employer saw more than just a student doing dishes. He saw potential.

So one day, they sat down and asked him a simple question:

“What do you want to do with your future?” 

It was the first time Yuanshuo really thought about it. And that’s when he realised: he didn’t just enjoy hospitality: he loved it! He wanted to turn his passion into a profession. One day, he dreamed of running his own restaurant.

That’s when he turned to PE Global. 

Our team listened to his story and knew exactly what to do. With our PE Education division, we drew on our trusted network of schools, colleges, and training providers across Australia to map out a clear, achievable pathway tailored just for him.

We helped him seamlessly transition from high school into a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, the first step in building hands-on skills in the kitchen. Next, we planned out his progression to Certificate IV in Kitchen Management and then on to a Diploma of Hospitality Management, a pathway designed to prepare him not just as a cook, but as a future leader in the industry.

Behind the scenes, PE Global handled everything from enrolment paperwork to visa updates, guiding him from the High School sector to the Vocational sector of the Subclass 500 visa. Every form, every detail, every deadline handled with care and precision.

Today, Yuanshuo isn’t just a student. He’s a rising star in hospitality with a clear goal, real experience, and a support system that believes in him.

At PE Global, we don’t just guide students, we empower futures.
