If you are part of an organisation that recruits and employs staff from overseas who are on 457 work visas, then you may be aware of the training requirements put in place by the government and the Migration Institute.
If you are looking to meet training requirements for Visa 457 & 186, then you can use Benchmark A and B – 457 Visa Training offered by pdtraining.
You may however have used a migration agent to help you find the appropriate staff with the right skills required for the job, so you might try and communicate with the agent in relation to this legal training requirement.
But the reality is that migration agents do one thing – find overseas staff and process their 457 documentation – and they don’t specialise in understanding the on-going training requirements that you face as an employer, nor can they help find the most appropriate training for each staff member which will enhance their productivity and make them more valuable assets to the business.
The migration agent might infer they can help with this part of the process, but this is not their main focus.
