Australian businesses are facing a persistent challenge: a shortage of skilled workers. Building and construction workers such as architects, carpenters, cabinet makers and joiners are in high demand, while the local workforce falls short.
Skilled migration emerges as a viable option, but for many businesses, its complexities, including migration laws and sponsorship requirements, can be daunting.
At RCR Lawyers, we understand the importance of skilled migration in mitigating workforce shortages. Our expertise in immigration law allows us to guide businesses through the sponsorship process, easing the burdens of recruitment and retention.
Understanding Skilled Migration: A Path to Workforce Enhancement
Understanding Australia’s migration framework is crucial to addressing the shortage of skilled workers. The skilled migration program provides access to a global talent pool, offering qualified tradespeople and professionals. Whether your business needs niche expertise in specific trades, such as carpentry, seasoned cabinet makers, to project managers, skilled migration provides a pathway to businesses who need to bolster the workforce.
Sponsored workers are obligated to work for their employer for the years specified in their visa grant, with the prospect of later applying for a permanent visa. This commitment from sponsored workers, particularly in high turnover industries, allows companies to invest in a sustainable stream of skilled workers. By tapping into our migration expertise, businesses can redirect resources into training initiatives such as apprenticeship programs, addressing immediate shortages and fostering long-term talent growth.
Retaining Valuable Talent through Sponsorship
For businesses with existing overseas talent, sponsorship offers a pathway to retain workers already contributing to their operations. By backing visa applications for existing employees, companies retain essential skill sets, corporate and operational knowledge, and demonstrate a commitment to long-term workforce investment.
Sponsors are required to test the local labour market as a final measure to attract local labour, ensuring skilled Australian workers are prioritised in recruitment efforts before nominating overseas workers.
