Employers Information 1.3.1
The Occupational Trainee visa allows foreign nationals to complete structured and supervised workplace-based training programs or academic research in Australia on a temporary basis. The training must provide people with additional or enhanced skills in their present occupations, tertiary studies or fields of expertise.
This temporary visa is for people from outside Australia who want to improve their work skills through training with an Australian employer.
An occupational training program needs two parties:
- an occupational trainee
- an Australian based nominating organisation to provide the training.
Further information about this visa is available online at the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website
