ACT Occupation comparison Aug 15.

There has been a small decrease in the number of occupations in demand with minimal variation in the skill type and industry sector. By way of example:

Over the last 18 months, the ACT Skilled Migration Program has re-focused its skill attraction activities to give priority to Canberra residents and graduates working in skilled occupations, or their immediate family living overseas who can demonstrate good employment prospects in Canberra. In 2014 – 15, 41% of applications for ACT nomination were from temporary visa holders and international students living in Canberra. This figure is expected to increase in 2015 – 2016 as Canberra residents working in a skilled occupation are eligible to apply for ACT nomination, even if their occupation is closed.
