Chefs, Wait Staff and Kitchen Staff can now apply for permanent residency

Did you know that there is a new change to the SOL (Skilled Occupation List)? Well now there is and now is a better time to study in Melbourne, especially in Hospitality. We explain

International students are now eligible to apply for residency after graduation due to a recent overhaul of the 457 visa program.  You do not need a sponsor anymore as Australia needs more of these.

This is due to the new Government changing the regulations which is what they promised at the last election. Under the Labour government this would not have been allowed. But there is a cost and that is that can only limit the amount of places to about 43,000 per year

This is great news for the cafe, restaurant, pub and bar owners as they need staff to work in their business. Lately there has been decline in interest for these job. Hospitality Magazine predicts that there would be about 43,000 new jobs in demand by November 2017

Now is a good time to maybe think about doing a hospitality course with William Angliss Institute and Box Hill Institute of TAFE. There is also other ones that offer courses in cookery but some of them can be very dodgy.

In August there will be a careers expo in Melbourne so stay tuned for the upcoming info and dates.
