Ensuring Marketing Specialists Are In High Demand
Every skilled migrant wants to know they will be able to secure a job quickly and easily when they are in Australia. The Australian emigration system ensures that they can.
Each year, State Governments and the two territorial Governments report to the federal government on their local demand for Marketing Specialists and if they need to bring in Marketing Specialists from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas a Marketing Specialists required in the coming year to fill the skills gap within each region.
The Skills in demand are then broken down into priority lists. These lists range from those skills in high demand across the country to those skills with only limited demand within rural areas.
Curently, Marketing Specialists are on the STSOL list. Being on this list means a Marketing Specialist may qualify for one of the following visa streams:
- 190, 407, 491 (S/T), TSS (S), 494
