Hey guys! Can anybody tell me about any sites or stories that provide info on the Trainee & Research (402) visa. I've been contacting employers to find a sponsor to go out to Oz as a trainee, but this visa seems to be very underused and most employers don't even know about it! I am aiming for a trainee IT role as a technical writer/instructional designer. It can be up to two years and looks at developing tertiary qualifications rather than experience, which is ideal for me as I would indeed be building on my university education! Any advice/suggestions/links etc would be greatly appreciated, as well as if anyone is aware of any employers, particularly Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne-based, that use this visa. Thanks! ​Paul.
