 Australian employers seeking to fill vacancies in the health and engineering professions and automotive, construction, electrical and mechanical trades are being encouraged to attend the Skills Australia Needs Expo. Hosted by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, the London Expo runs for two days, September 11 and 12. Skilled workers from the United Kingdom feature highly in Australia's skilled migration program with occupations in demand. In the 2008-09 program year, UK migrants made up 61% of construction workers, 31% of nurses, 20% of automotive, electrical and electronics tradespersons and nearly 20% of medical practitioners. Visitors to the Skills Australia Needs Expo who are interested in employment and sponsorship opportunities in Australia will be pre-screened to ensure they have suitable qualifications and experience.
