Australia and its barriers for migrant teachers
Pic*2
Definition:
More and more Slovenes are deciding to move abroad. European countries still dominate but on the other hand the interest to move in Australia is increasing. People migrate to Australia because of better economic conditions, higher salaries and also because of better living conditions. It should be emphasized that even in Australia newcomers do not necessarily get what they expected, they are not accepted as easily as they think they would be, because they are mainly interested in those who will benefit their country. Sometimes migrants find the perfect job, but because of Australian employment system, they are forced to do extra qualifications and that could be a massive problem because it usually takes a lot of time and money.
Research questions:
What are the main reasons which force people (in our case teachers) to move to Australia? ( Tina )
Which workers are most welcome in Australia? ( Tina )
Where do migrants find necessary information? ( Nina F. )
Do we have proper employment agents for Australia in Slovenia? ( Nina F. )
Which Slovenian organizations or companies offer relocation / resettlement to Australia?( Žana )
How long does it take to obtain all necessary documentation? ( Žana )
Which documents should be regulated to obtain a work permit? ( Nina Š. )
Which are the barriers in getting all necessary documentation? ( Nina Š. )
How successful are people in overcoming mentioned barriers? ( Maja )
How can OTTs gain qualifications and work experience to meet local Australian employment requirements? ( Maja )
