SAVE the date for this year’s leading resource industry skills and labour sourcing event, the annual Skilled Migration Conference, taking place in Perth on 16 September 2014.

With a tranche of proposed amendments set to alter the nation’s skilled migration landscape, the 2014 Skilled Migration Conference is one event members won’t want to miss.

Over the past three years AREEA’s Skilled Migration Conferences have developed a reputation for bringing together industry leaders, government decision-makers and migration experts to tackle the challenges of labour sourcing across the mining, oil and gas sectors.

In 2014, delegates will hear first-hand about the future of temporary skilled migration under the Coalition government, with a keynote address from Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Michaelia Cash.

This year’s Skilled Migration Conference will also explore topics such as:

• The role of skilled migration in assisting Australia’s resource industry through shifting skills and labour force requirements;
• How resource employers can use skilled migration to transfer international skills and knowledge to their Australian workforces;
• Specific local training programs to complement and add value to skilled migration strategies;
• Navigating the policy and industrial relations aspects to accessing skilled migration schemes; and
• The latest in regulatory and administration requirements.
