George Lombard Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 TRA has just released the following "clarification" which may be bad news for a small number of applicants: Eligibility The Skilled Worker Program assessment criteria apply to applicants who are applying for a skills assessment for a residence visa: • under the General Skilled Migration program from outside Australia; or • under the General Skilled Migration program from within Australia but do not hold an Australian qualification based on studies undertaken in Australia; or • under employer sponsored arrangements. Employment a. Employment descriptors for Skill Pathways A, B and C have been clarified by amending clauses 9.2, 10.1 and 11.1 with the following text: The apprenticeship/traineeship cited must comprise a period of acceptable formal training, directly related on-the-job training and continuing directly related and relevant employment, of not less than four/five years duration. b. Evidence of 12 months employment in your nominated occupation in the last 24 months is required for all Skill Pathways (A, B, C and E) of the Skilled Worker Program.
