Job Ready Program (JRP)

The Job Ready Program is for them who are the international graduates with an Australian qualification. International students of vocational studies are eligible for this program.

The JRP has a four-step program

  • Evidence of a minimum of 360 hours of employment and/or a vocational placement relevant to your qualification and nominated occupation, completed in an Australian workplace, within the three years prior to submitting a PSA application (TAFE will usually arrange an internship/placement in the second year, which can generally meet the requirement).

    A successful outcome of a PSA will enable you to apply for a 485 visa and step 2.

  • Your employment arrangements approved by TRA
