- Start the Conversation – linking skilled workers to the Limestone Coast
- Every year the South Australian Government assists in bringing thousands of skilled workers to the State under the skilled visa program. These skilled migrants have been nominated by the state of South Australia as they have been identified as persons that have skills and qualifications that match our in-demand occupations. At RDALC we want to start your conversation with work-ready skilled employees that want to make the Limestone Coast their home.
- Currently looking for roles in the Limestone Coast are people in the following skilled occupations;
- Electrician
- IT Project Management
- Dentist
- Teacher
- Accountant
- Pharmacist
- These skilled migrants hold visas (either permanent or provisional) for Australia with full work rights and therefore your business is not required to sponsor them. These visa holders have undergone a range of assessments as a part of their visa application, which includes skills assessments, English language proficiency, health and character checking.
- If you are interested in contacting skilled migrants in the above occupations, please send your vacancy details to info@rdalc.org.au RDALC will then send your vacancy information onto the skilled migrant and ask them to contact you with their CV and personal details.
- Please note: RDALC are not vetting the potential candidates or arranging interviews. Our role is simply to connect employers with potential employees, for you to begin the conversation and find out if they have the skills your business needs. We hope that this conversation is the first of many.
