WA to attract best and brightest international students

27/8/2018

0 Comments

 
  • McGowan Government moves to attract more international students to Western Australia
  • High achieving graduates attending WA's universities will be targeted
  • Attracting international students boosts the economy and helps creates jobs for Western Australians 

An additional Graduate Skilled Migration List will be introduced to attract the best global talent with the advanced qualifications, skills and experience and help grow Western Australia's share of the international education market.

The McGowan Government will give high achieving education graduates - PhD, Masters, Honours and other higher degree graduates - a pathway to skilled migration.

It is expected the changes will attract an increased number of high-quality international students to the State and help grow our share of the international education market.

The State Government's existing Skilled Migration Occupation List will not be affected, with the policy of not including occupations such as bricklayers, electricians and mechanics remaining in place.

Priority consideration for skilled migration under the State Nominated Migration Program will be granted to the best and brightest international students graduating from WA universities.

These students are essential to maintaining the competitiveness of Western Australia's universities in creating knowledge and building capacity for scientific and technological development, and strengthening the future workforce.

Information about eligibility and how to apply will be available on the Department of Training and Workforce Development's migration portal in coming months at http://www.migration.wa.gov.au

The McGowan Government has also committed $2 million to develop a detailed and comprehensive International Education Strategy, which is expected to be announced later this year.

Comments attributed to Premier Mark McGowan:

"Attracting the best and brightest of international university students represents a major step in our commitment to increasing Western Australia's share of the international education market.

"We need to send a message to the world that we welcome international students, and their friends and families. Perth is an attractive, supportive destination to live, study and work.

"A key part of our Plan for Jobs includes an investment of $2 million to develop an International Education Strategy to grow and diversify the knowledge economy, while creating jobs."

Comments attributed to Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery:

"Encouraging international students to choose Western Australia as a destination for study and work will help boost our economy and create WA jobs.

"We have excellent universities and our weather and lifestyle is second-to-none.

"We're confident that investment in international education and our International Education Strategy will see growth in the sector."
