Super Pits to Power for Living: I Salute our Men and Women at the Front-End A recent site work provided another opportunity to reflect on the significance of work performed at the front-end. The travel to remote sites, early morning rise, drives to site, works at site (often in harsh weather conditions and regimented safety protocols), and end products that power our living standards. I salute our men and women at the front end.

MPB, MARC, & RECRUITMENT 101 We acknowledge the growing effort by stakeholders to promote a level-playing field for employment and sustainable workplace participation. Hopefully, we will see more migrant and multicultural skilled professionals having a fair-go regarding recruitment, job retention, and contribution to national growth. We applaud the recent campaign by Australian Department of Home Affairs to reduce exploitation of migrant workers due to their visa situation. We support the push by organisations like SSI for more intentional efforts to empower people of diverse backgrounds to fully participate in the economic, social, civic and diverse cultural life of Australia. Finally, we appreciate the efforts by Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre (BCEC) in conducting and sharing cutting-edge research regarding labour and workplace participation. Multicultural Professional Bridge (MPB) has contributed to bridging the gaps for skilled migrants and multicultural people in the past few years. Our MARC and Recruitment 101 programs received positive feedback from participants and members of their support network. MARC supported culturally diverse workers regarding workplace issues. REC101 provided world-class recruitment best practices. Shout out to John S., who selflessly facilitated the REC101 sessions over a couple of seasons. Australia is better-off when all skilled professionals contribute maximally to our national value and productivity. Let's keep reducing waste! Rich Akubuiro, Joy Idehen, Dr Ephraim O.

MIGRATION AND FAMILY: SUSTAINABILITY FOR MULTICULTURAL FAMILIES This is one of my significant contributions to the discourse around Family and Sustainable Migration. Check it out (and my other books) on #Amazon: https://lnkd.in/dRFbVN4m. Some thought-provoking headings in this book: (1) Is it really worth it? (2) Adopt, Adapt or Abandon! (3) Future Projections.

FAMILY MIGRATION PROGRAM: OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILY & BALANCE Australia has a range of visas aimed at helping families of Australian citizens, permanent residents and eligible New Zealand citizens to come to Australia, and reunite with loved ones. The family migration program is also intended at promoting social cohesion, cultural diversity, and economic prosperity. Incoming family members can work and contribute to the economy. However, these visas have varying levels of eligibility criteria, application complexities, and associated costs. Their specified processing times also vary (could be as low as few months to many years). Moreover, some of the visas are sequenced and capped, based on set migration policy. Nevertheless, the benefits abound! Are you considering taking advantage of the opportunities? Let us know if we can assist: https://lnkd.in/gMGAz74E. You can also connect with us via our various media pages for ongoing updates. For us at Sustainable Migration Services, migration is more than migrating. We consider the bigger picture while attending to immediate requirements as well. Stakeholders' value, client's wellbeing, and sustainability for all, are some of our key drivers. Sustainable Migration Services is part of Tri-W Group, along with Tri-W Project Services, and WISE Counselling Services. #employer, #employee #sponsorship #nomination #regional #visa #skill, #work, #entrepreneurship, #professional, #study, #student, #employ, #reinvent, #adapt, #adapt #achieve, #success, #diversity, #value, #change, #industry, #sponsor, #business, #family, #creativity, #impact, #wisdom, #wellness, #wealth

Skills in Demand Visa: Opportunity to contribute to Value and Productivity Skills in Demand (SID) visa replaces Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa. It requires employer sponsorship. Visit https://lnkd.in/gMGAz74E and book a consult to explore this visa pathway, and other suitable immigration and visa options. Australia still needs skilled professionals and workers irrespective of recent changes to her immigration policy. You (and suitable members of your network) may be eligible to take advantage of the opportunities for yourselves and families. Let us know if we can assist. We also support employers with immigration aspects of the value chain of sustainably resourcing their businesses, specific tasks, and projects.

The law of compensation indicates that reward is often dependent on (1) demand for what you do, (2) ability to deliver, and (3) difficulty replacing you. This law is also moderated by the way you come into such opportunities, how you position yourself further (including changing, if necessary), and courage to own, preserve, and improve your value, as applicable. www.wisecounselling.com.au #work, #entrepreneurship, #multicultural, #professional, #employment, #reinvent, #adapt, #adapt #achieve, #success, #diversity, #inclusion, #value, #change, #industry, #corporate, #business, #competitive, #advantage, #innovation, #creativity, #intelligence, #grow, #impact #wealth

Sustainable Migration Services: Strengthening Local, facilitating Global Opportunities We continue to facilitate opportunities for migration and visas for qualified overseas workers to fill gaps for required skills in Australia. Despite recent changes, Australia still needs skilled migrants for our thriving economy. Value and productivity are increasing the key drivers for such visas like skills in demand visas, traditional GSM visas, and associated family visas. However, there are so many highly skilled locals that have been missing out (and still keep missing out) despite the unrelenting demand for skilled workers. That doesn't seem right, isn't it? Is it not easier for all stakeholders to be able to pluck these low-hanging fruits? Our competitive advantage in Sustainable Migration Services include our demonstrable expertise and experience in offering our services and contributing to the solutions. We collaborate with Multicultural Professional Bridge (MPB) and other well-meaning governmental and non-governmental organisations to bridge the gaps. We support the "Billion Dollar Benefit" campaign aimed at reducing employment barriers and embracing the skills of refugees and migrants, thereby adding billions to the Australian economy. This laudable program is led by a variety of top business and civic organisations including Settlement Services International (SSI), Allianz Australia, Business NSW, and LinkedIn.

Ephraim and Harmoniche "Niche": Some Keys to Successful Mentorship Let me celebrate a mentee, Niche, and how he embodies the benefits of mentorship. I'd also use this post to present some keys to successful mentorship (from my viewpoint as a mentor). SHOWING-UP (not showing-off) LiME (Leadership in Motion and Experience) was a youth development and leadership program (12-17 years) which I founded and led from 2018 to 2021. Niche was not part of the originally selected group of youth. He came along with a friend to one of the early sessions, saw the value, joined right away, and kept showing up all through the years i.e. LiME 1, LiME 2, and LIME 3. He was intentional about his involvement, he attended consistently, he took initiative where necessary, and accepted challenges with guidance. TAKING INITIATIVE Niche immersed himself into the regular LiME program including the Gavel communication stream, adopted from Toastmasters International. He also took initiatives and seized opportunities. Here are a few of them: Niche accepted the challenge to speak at my book launch 2019, he did excellently well! I asked him to write the forewords for one of my other books, he did, and that was impressive. Glenn P.W Dewhurst, then Mayor of City of Gosnells (CoG) listened to Niche as a LiME event guest. Later on, Glenn formally invited Niche to deliver a keynote speech at an annual CoG event with dignitaries and MPs at Federal, State and LG levels in attendance. Niche made me and Glenn look so good on the day with his well planned and delivered address. HONOURING Niche has honoured me on many occasions. The value is not so much the honour in itself, but the weight he places in the mentorship. I'll present a few examples of the episodes of honour, here. He invited me to be his special guest during his National Chess competition. He readily promotes LiME program before his peers, teachers and principal during his High School days. He invited me to afternoon tea with his family, in their home, that was special. Not to mention gifts of appreciation given to me at different occasions. Just recently, I received a message from Niche asking to catch-up (he was back home from The Australian National University (ANU) for Christmas / New Year break). I made room for the catch-up, my busy my schedule didn't matter as much. Honour is a high-weight currency! I am glad that Niche is aware that there's still much to learn. I pray he remains teachable while he keeps showing up where necessary, taking initiatives in seizing opportunities, and maintaining his honouring heart. His success will continue to grow.
