Training visa 407 is for ‘on the job’ or classroom based training and skills development. Companies and government departments, Australian and international, are eligible to nominate trainees.
There are 3 types of nomination for Training Visa 407:
As an employer considering Training Visa 407, training needs analysis is recommended.
Training should be structured to the training needs of the nominee. Training needs analysis and program proposal should be prepared for nomination application.
Program Proposal should include:
The tasks actually performed should be consistent with program objectives.
The timeframes for completion of tasks needs to be clear. However, it is advisable to indicate an increase in difficulty and complexity over time.
Show in particular who the trainee will progress to a higher level skills capability.
When providing details of supervisor, qualifications and certifications should be explained. Career experience as someone with ‘specialized knowledge’ and experience in the subject area, would ideally be accompanied with a resume.
Supervisor-to-trainee ratio should be addressed in the training plan. Individualized training is the key, so ensure that this is clearly explained.
The training proposal should indicate mechanisms for monitoring and assessment. The program does not need to result in formal qualification, however assessment of skills development is important.
Details of qualifications, if awarded, after completion of training should be indicated.
The training program should also outline who will deliver any ‘off the job’ training.
