JOB READY PROGRAM (JRB)
What is the Job Ready Program?
The Job Ready Program (JRP) is a four-step employment-based process, designed to support the aims of the Australian Government's General Skilled Migration (GSM) program. The JRP is managed by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) and provides international graduates that have an Australian trade qualification, the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in their trade and demonstrate their 'jobreadiness' when applying to migrate under the General Skilled Migration visa.

In addition, the applicant must also have an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6 or greater in each of the reading, writing, listening and speaking sub-tests of the one General Training test and have work experience performed in Australia that demonstrates a range of tasks and duties in an occupation related to their qualification for at least two days per week over six months (or equivalent).
A successful outcome will enable the applicant to apply to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) for a Skilled-Graduate (temporary) visa (subclass 485). |

Apply for a Job Ready Final Assessment

To apply for a Job Ready Final Assessment, participants will need to collect all of the evidence required during Steps 1, 2 and 3, including completion of 12-months paid full-time employment (or equivalent) in their occupation.
