This week on Tapod, we catch up with Sarah Prince, Managing Director at the Migration Agency. With the recent budget and the ongoing discussions around underemployment in the immigrant population, it’s a fantastic time to check in with an industry expert. We cover the disconnect between budget and government announcements in terms of the need for the skilled migrant population to deliver essential services like Aged Care and Health Care and the reduction in net immigration. We talk about qualifications and the challenges around many skilled migrants sourcing opportunities at the level they are trained at. It’s a really interesting discussion.

Along with our very own Craig Watson, she has developed the first-ever accredited vocational training for our industry in a Certificate IV in TA and Diploma in TA Management. Not only that, but they are also about to launch the Talent Acquisition Association of Australia – TAAA. This is a member-based industry association to drive the professionalism and standards of talent acquisition in the region. The TAAA will provide guidance and resources, lobby the government, be the voice of internal recruitment and test frameworks around new strategies and technologies. They have already signed on a number of vendor partners who will contribute data, whitepapers and special deals to members. It’s high time we are seen as a true profession, and that can only be the case if we take steps to act like one.
