Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

Important Changes to the Job Ready Program

Important Changes to the Job Ready Program (JRP) with Trade Recognition Australia from 1 July 2022

From 1 July 2022, the Job Ready Program (JRP) will move from a four (4) step program to a three (3) step program.

The Job Ready Program (JRP) is for international student graduates who have received a completed qualification issued by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), as a result of study in Australia. The RTO must be registered under the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) to deliver the training. Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) is a skills assessing authority within the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment (the Department) for nominated occupations.

What is the new process of Job Ready Program skills assessment.

The new Job Ready Program applicants will contact three steps only. From 1 July 2022, new applications will be accepted by selecting the JRP Program Registration and Eligibility option.

Transition Period

As a result of this key change, no new applications for the Provisional Skills Assessment (PSA) [Step 1 of the JRP] will be accepted after 4.00 pm (AEST) on 30 June 2022.

If you have not started your PSA application before 1 July 2022, you will not be able to apply for a PSA. You will need to apply under the new JRP process on or after 1 July 2022.

If you have applied for a PSA outcome before 1 July 2022, your application will be processed, and you will receive your PSA outcome.

If you have received a PSA outcome before 1 July 2022, your progress through the JRP will not be affected.
