With the unemployment rate consistently hovering around the 14% mark in Ireland, Skilled Workers all over the country are looking to countries such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand to find work.

Australia alone has many thousands of jobs that need to be filled in the midst of its current resources boom, creating a significant skills gap that Australia simply cannot fill with Australian workers alone - we need skilled workers from overseas. Herein lies a wonderful opportunity for the above mentioned skilled workers from Ireland.

Less than a week ago Dublin hosted its second Working Abroad Expo for the year, with over 5,000 Irish men and women seeking opportunities abroad walking through its doors both days. The Australian Migration & Visa Lawyers (AMVL) Employment Network Team attended as an exhibitor and were overwealmed by the reponse to the 200+ jobs we currently have available to skilled workers within our network. Every job offered included an employer sponsored 457 visa at no cost to the employee, obviously a popular catch for those with dreams to live and work in Australia.
