If you're a skilled migrant seeking work in South Australia, there is dedicated support and resources available to help you navigate the local job market.
Six partner organisations are delivering tailored employment services, connecting skilled migrants with local networks and employment opportunities that match their experience and qualifications. These programs are funded by the Government of South Australia, and are free for skilled migrants.
The programs focus specifically on industries such as engineering, ICT, and construction, where skilled workers are urgently needed and where the local job market has been exhausted.
Who are the service providers?
The following six partner organisations are offering new programs and services to skilled migrants across Adelaide and regional areas:
- Connect, Thrive and Contribute, delivered by the Australian Migrant Resource Centre (AMRC)
- Adelaide Connected, delivered by the Committee for Adelaide
- Skilled Migration Industry Connection Project, delivered by the South Australian Business Chamber
- Engineering Futures, delivered by SkillSmart Careers
- SA Migrant Job Support Centre, delivered by Community Corporate
- BuildConnect, delivered by the Master Builders Association of SA.
What support is available?
The new support programs provide comprehensive support tailored to your needs, including job search strategies, resume building, interview preparation, networking events, job-readiness workshops, and language assistance.
The programs will offer training, industry connection events, masterclasses, and career expos to help you successfully transition into the Australian workforce.
Services will be available across metropolitan and regional locations, including the Murraylands, Naracoorte, Bordertown, Mt Gambier, Whyalla, Tumby Bay, Port Augusta, and metropolitan Adelaide.
