Introduction
In 2023, the Australian Government commissioned Jobs and Skills Australia to study the interaction between the education, migration and employment systems to understand how to enhance the contributions of international students as a skilled workforce.
This study provides insights into how the education, migration, and employment systems can best work together to enhance the contribution made by international students to Australia’s skilled workforce.
The objectives of the International Students Pathways and Outcomes Study are to ensure Australia can support international students and graduates to realise their potential across education and training pathways into participation in the labour market.
The study contains 11 recommendations to support a strong Australian workforce built around capable and skilled workers.
