London Likely To Experience Recruitment Drive By Australian Immigration Department

07 Aug 2010

Australia is planning to launch a recruitment drive in London to recruit skilled candidates for medical, engineering or other trades, who want to move to Australia. And, this drive is expected to be hosted in London during September. This is a bid to enable potential employers meet skilled workers from Britain. This information was revealed by an official spokesperson of DIAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship). This initiative is taken by Australian immigration despite the urge to bring down levels of Australian immigration significantly.

As aware, Australia is experiencing a shortage of skilled workers for different industries in the nation. The expo by Australian government titled ‘Skills Australia Needs’ is aimed to become a platform for employers and workers having skills in health, construction and mining industries. This London expo is slated to be organized on 11^th and 12^th September.

This expo will have representatives of some major employers in Australia and governments of various Australian territories and states. Skilled workers from UK can be benefited as they will get detailed information about various options of career or jobs in Australia. It is an amicable option for those who are expecting sponsorship offers from employers in Australia.

Last year, London Expo had taken place in which 38 exhibitors including Australian government organizations, employers from Australia and relocation service providers participated, in turn, 1800 UK skilled workers with skills in big demand in Australia took part in the expo.

An official of the Australian immigration department behind the 2009 London expo claimed that the recruitment expo was a huge success. Nearly 90 percent of the participants in the expo of 2009 admitted that they would recommend to their friends and considered this as a good opportunity.
