Many Australian universities and higher education institutions offer returning home seminars for international students which prepare graduates to re-enter their home country and give advice on finding a job.

There are a number of recruitment companies in Australia and around the world that offer careers counselling and link graduates with prospective employers.  Many large corporations run their own graduate recruitment service and value graduates with international experience such as an Australian qualification.

Australian qualifications are well recognised and respected around the world. Government offices have been very active in developing Memoranda of Understanding and qualifications recognition between Australia and other countries. They can also advise you where to find information about employment and further study opportunities in Australia and in your country where your Australian qualifications will be highly regarded.

The Australian Government skilled migration programme targets young people who have skills, an education and outstanding abilities that will contribute to the Australian economy. International students with Australian qualifications account for about half the people assessed under the skilled migrant programme. The number of places for skilled migrants increased recently due to the success in attracting graduates in high demand occupations such information technology, nursing and accounting. Applicants must pass a points test and satisfy some basic requirements. These include a maximum age limit of 45, English language proficiency, post-secondary school qualifications or work experience relevant to your nominated occupation. Points are awarded to applicants with Australian qualifications.
