Securing your first professional job in Australia is difficult if you are an international student, migrant or non-native English speaker.

Although international students and skilled migrants with non-western backgrounds generally have a higher level of education, they often find themselves struggling to restart their professional career in Australia. In many cases, newly arrived migrants, even those with university degrees, have to spend years applying for jobs in their field. During this period, they lose many of their skills or their skills may become irrelevant.

Statistics show that the most common barriers migrants face include problems getting qualifications recognized, the requirement to have Australian work experience, the requirement to have referees in Australia, and the lack of English language fluency required for employment.
