Australia is having skill shortage of the workforce in some of the industries. The Australian government has designed some certain visa categories to tackle the issues. Visa subclass 457; Temporary Work and ENS (Employer Nomination Scheme).
Visa subclass 457 and ENS allow the businesses or employers to sponsor someone to work in the business. Visa subclass 457 allows the visa applicant to stay and work in Australia for up to 4 years. Once the employees work for the business for at least 2 years, then the employers can sponsor the employees for their Permanent Residence visa (PR). In this stream, it's called ENS.
However, that doesn't mean the employers can just employ anyone for any positions. It doesn't work like that. The employer needs to be approved sponsored from the department and the occupation needs to be in the CSOL; Consolidated Skilled Occupation List that Australia is in need for that particular skilled workforce.
The visa applicants also need to have qualifications and work experience that relates to the nominated position. To find out more about this visa subclass, please do not hesitate to contact us; J Migration Team.
