Check your skill level
Pilot 3 is aimed at helping migrants in Australia that
are working in a job beneath their skill level. Pilot 3
may help you with the soft skills required for
employment in your nominated occupation.
To be eligible for this Pilot you must demonstrate a
skills mismatch.
For example, a skills mismatch IS:
“I have a suitable skills assessment in
Accounting,
and currently working as a Bookkeeper”
Or
“I
have a suitable skills assessment in Psychology,
but I am currently working as a ride-
share driver”.
For example, a skills mismatch IS NOT:
“I have a suitable skills assessment in
Software
Engineering, and I am currently working as a
Software Developer
”

Case Study
Wei is a qualified chef. Since migrating to Australia two years ago, she worked full-time as a
cook. Wei is eligible for Pilot 3 because she works in a job below her skill level.
Wei completes the Employability Assessment and speaks with her assessor. Wei finds that
she needs to develop her problem-solving and teamwork skills.
Wei’s assessor has found a training course
that will develop those skills.
•
The total cost of the course is $2000.
•
Wei will pay $200 as her 10%
contribution.
•
The Australian Government will pay
the remaining $1800.
Wei is supported to enrol in the
recommended training course and attends.
Wei made great use of the resources and the things she learned and was able to utilise
these in her job interviews.
Wei is now working as a full-time chef and continues to use the learnings from her training
to work as a member of a team. Her problem-solving skills enable her to work in a fast-
paced environment.
Note: This is a pilot program with a defined number of places available for skilled migrants. Each
participant will only receive one employability assessment.
