Skills Shortage / Labor Shortage / Staff Shortage / Workforce


Here is a win-win situation ( as reported in Times of India / May,06,2011 ) :

Ø   A “ Skills Australia “ report estimates that Australia will need 2.4 million more skilled workers within 4 years

Ø   Australian trainers will train 100,000 Indians in Indian Universities over the next 4 years

Ø   Of these, 30,000 will be recruited to work in Australia

Ø   Any Indians who come to Australia under the scheme would be employed on the same conditions as Australians, subject to Immigration rules

National Skills Development Corporation ( NSDC - set up in Feb 2011 ), has the mandate to provide “ Skills “ to 500 million Indians by 2022, to make them ” employable “ .

How about India importing 30,000 Australian Trainers for this purpose ?

That would make for a true “ Win – Win “ situation !
