Latrobe City Council in partnership with Regional Development Victoria is hosting a skilled migration workshop this December as part of the Skilled and Business Migration Program.
The skilled migration workshop will cover details of the State Nominated Skilled Work Regional visa, which allows for local employers to support a pathway for eligible skilled workers from overseas, or on temporary work visas, towards permanent residency. An allocation of 2,400 visa places have been made available for the 2022/23 program.
Local businesses and employers who are interested in retaining or recruiting migrant employees are also invited to attend the Regional visa-subclass 491 Information Session

Opportunity for small businesses
Mayor of Latrobe City, Councillor Kellie O'Callaghan said the workshop was another way that council was helping the local small business community and an opportunity to welcome regional migration in Latrobe City. "Council is committed to welcoming new community members to our City while supporting our local economy and businesses."
