IDXChannel - Australian and Indonesian businesses and workers from today will have even greater opportunities to boost their skills and expertise, with the signing of an expanded Memorandum of Understanding on the Indonesia-Australia Skills Development Exchange Pilot.
This mobility pilot program will enable eligible workers to travel to Australia or Indonesia to develop workplace skills, as well as intercultural and business connections.
1,500 exchange placements will be available for Australian and Indonesian workers for 12 months in each direction, over five years.
Placements will be available for businesses and workers across the agriculture, creative, tourism and travel, green economy, financial, insurance, mining engineering, information media, and telecommunications sectors.
“Indonesia is one of our closest neighbours, and a key part of our trade diversification efforts. Greater cooperation between Australian and Indonesian businesses and workers means more opportunities for trade and investment," said Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell in a media release on Friday.
