Episode Summary:
Back in October 2023, we did a podcast on picking the right occupation for your skills assessment. We touched upon how relevant skills assessing authorities check that your skills meet the standards they set to work in a relevant occupation. We spoke at length about VETASSESS and how they go about assessing occupations that are NEC – not elsewhere classified.
In April 2024, ACS – the Australian Computer Society – launched a new Migration Skills Assessment platform with the intention of making it more streamlined and delivering a superior applicant experience. In this podcast we will focus our discussion on how ACS assesses the skills and qualifications of IT and Data Science professionals.
Amitava goes into detail about what's different about the new ACS Migration Skills Assessment. He sheds light on the most common query individuals on a subclass 482 visa have about the skills occupation. The conversation later steers towards the skilled regional provisional visa subclass 491 and why it's important that regional visa holders ensure they live and work in a designated regional area only.
