Under the Skilled Migration Talent and Industry Connection Program, six partner organisations will deliver services to help skilled migrants connect with local networks and employment opportunities matched to their experience and qualifications.

The programs specifically target the engineering, ICT and construction industries, where skilled workers are urgently needed and where the local job market has been exhausted.

The partner organisations delivering programs are:

• Australian Migrant Resource Centre (AMRC) – Connect, Thrive and Contribute
• The Committee for Adelaide – Adelaide Connected
• The South Australian Business Chamber – Skilled Migration Industry Connection Project
• SkillSmart Careers – Engineer Futures
• Community Corporate – SA Migrant Job Support Centre

A sixth program, BuildConnect delivered by the Master Builders Association of SA, commenced in January to bolster the state’s building and construction industry workforce and help deliver critical housing and public infrastructure projects.

Programs will be delivered through to 30 June 2026 and will include job-readiness workshops, language support and training, industry connection events, masterclasses and career expos.

Services will be available to skilled migrants across regional locations including the Murraylands, Naracoorte, Bordertown, Mt Gambier, Whyalla, Tumby Bay, Port Augusta, and metropolitan Adelaide.
