Was reading an article sent by Rhian bout PR issues on THe Age (newspaper)... and with both my cousin telling bout road show n recruitment the last two days prior to reading the article... I needed to blog... hahahaha...
The article in summary mentions that there are a whole lot of jobless IT graduates and migrants in aus and working as taxi drivers etc... And they are thinking of reassessing their skilled migration criteria... The industy needs experienced IT personnels and not just fresh grad with little experiences.
1st i would like to say.. if every company just want experience employees, that is great... people that are over 35 or 40 can still be in great demand.. which is good! There was a case where people stop employing mature people and want younger talents...
2nd... here we have a case of need of expertise... but if no company is willing to train these fresh grads and just employ experienced employees... these fresh grads will nv get the type of relevant experiences... and in the long run! You would create your own lack of expertise in your society!!! COZ greedy corporate cultures just want profit margin but dun spend a bit of $$$ to train talents in the 1st place... talents who can help increase their profit margin with the $$ they spend on these young talents...
3rd, if they are worried after they train these youngster, they might leave them for another better job... make them sign a bond to start off with...
4thly... does the government really think its the point criteria system or should they really look into their country's courporate culture! Maybe they should pass a law/legislation/policy/regulation whatever it is done to really solve the root of the problem...
In conclusion... companies should think bout putting aside a sum of $$$ for employees training... not just for new fresh grads... but existing employees... so instead of employing someone new and start the long learning curve, you could utilise internal resources and turn them into the expert u need...
Or maybe i'm just being an idealist...

I can only comment that quite a few corporate companies are state-owned. Because money and capital flow between the proxy owner of the corporation and the Howard government, they would not want to spend the state's money on training fresh graduates. And they might have had bad experiences when training a group from graduate courses and having to see them leave AFTER they finish their 2 year contract. I'm talking about both public and private sectors. Especially large corporations.
But I do agree with your 4 points. First, I think it is discrimination when the company does not want to hire mature people as compared to younger talents. And Singapore is a fine example. And so,the EEO should take that into account. Second point, yes, everyone's facing that same situation. It's a vicious cycle. Maybe the state should re-assess their corporate policy, or even better, just change the goddamn migration legislation. Otherwise, noone will be interested in coming to Australia and it can stay laidback for as long as the government wants.

the whole thing is crap when it comes to govn... they are greedy...
It just contradict wat they want... they want their economy to grow but do not want to train their talents... so let see wat happens... u will have graduates who dun work in the industry they study and then they will feel they have lack of expertise and then try to get more immigrate.. then they will feel oh too many useless immigrant.. when they are greedy n useless... =S
I'm just in a bad mood today~
