What is it?

This program aims to support skilled migrants, who are unable to find work in their area of expertise because they face specific barriers, to overcome the barriers and find work. 

These barriers may include their lack of knowledge about Australian job seeking processes and workplaces, a lack of work experience or the employer’s lack of recognition of overseas qualifications.

Have you:

• come to Australia as a skilled migrant with a profession or trade qualification that has been recognised in Australia?
• got a first language other than English?

• got English-language skills at ISLPR 3/3+ or IELTS 6.0 or above (ie. you have work-ready English skills)
