IN SOURCED
In-Sourcing better than Out-Sourcing ?
At least the Australian Government seems to think so.
Why else would it “ import “ from India ( under its migration scheme), 450 Plumbers / Masons / Carpenters / Electricians / Mechanics etc ?
These highly skilled “ tradesmen “ were in-sourced from the Industrial Training Institute at Aundh ( India ) which has been training the students since last year for a certification that is recognized by the Australian Government.
Their minimum annual salary package is Australian Dollar 40,000.
The “tradesmen“ are happy because this salary is approx. 10 / 15 times what they would earn in India (- if they were lucky enough to find a job !).
Australian employers are happy because they just cannot find highly skilled technicians locally.
It seems, younger Australians prefer white-collar jobs.
May be they believe that white-collar workers may not get In-Sourced.
Is there a chance that white-collar jobs may get Out-Source?
