Skills Australia Needs Information and Networking Sessions – London, United Kingdom

25 - 27 February 2012

The department will host a Skills Australia Needs event in London on 25-27 February 2012 to promote employer and state sponsored skilled migration to potential skilled migrants residing in the United Kingdom.

The event will be held across three days as follows:

  • Engineering and trades – weekend sessions – 25-26 February 2012
  • Healthcare – evening session – 27 February 2012.

The targeted occupations are engineering and healthcare and automotive, construction, electrical and mechanical trades.

The event will provide an opportunity for invited skilled workers in occupations in demand to hear from the department about skilled visa options for Australia. Invitees will then have an opportunity to meet and speak with participating Australian state and territory governments and employers about employment and sponsorship opportunities.

Who can apply to attend the Skills Australia Needs information sessions?

You may be invited to attend the information sessions if you are a skilled worker who:

  • is under 50 years of age
  • has good English language skills (both written and verbal)
  • is interested in living and working in Australia
  • has qualifications and/or work experience in an occupation in demand in Australia. These include health or engineering professions and automotive, construction, electrical and mechanical trades.

Do I need to register to attend?

To register your interest to attend the Skills Australia Needs event in London, please click on the skilled worker registration button below.

Due to the limited number of places available, the list of invitees will be determined according to occupations in high demand across Australia and, in particular, those sought by participating organisations. Entry will be by invitation only.

The majority of invitations will be issued by 17 February 2012. New expressions of interest will continue to be accepted after 17 February, and invitations will continue to be issued until the event capacity is met. Those who are not selected to attend the event will be notified by email.
