A guide for employers on employing international students has been released by the International Education Association of Australia.
The guide is well timed with unemployment at record low levels, and many employers across a wide range of industries facing acute skills and labour shortages. International students can help bridge these gaps.
The guide outlines the benefits of international students to Australian workplaces, explains the stage at which international students and graduates seek employment in Australia, and details the visa options that allow international students to work. The guide also discusses how their education providers assist with an international student’s ‘fit’ within Australian organisations.
