Australian employers and skilled migration applicants now have expanded technology sector opportunities with the updated Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) and the new Skills in Demand Visa (SID) announced by the Department of Home Affairs last month.<\/p>\n<p>The new occupations increase the number of professional technology roles available to skilled migrants from 25 to 35 ANZSCO codes, with ten new high-demand occupations. The newly added roles address emerging specialisations in cybersecurity, data science, and DevOps, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>224114 Data Analyst<\/li>\n<li>224115 Data Scientist<\/li>\n<li>261315 Cyber Security Engineer<\/li>\n<li>261316 DevOps Engineer<\/li>\n<li>261317 Penetration Tester<\/li>\n<li>262114 Cyber Governance Risk and Compliance Specialist<\/li>\n<li>262115 Cyber Security Advice and Assessment Specialist<\/li>\n<li>262116 Cyber Security Analyst<\/li>\n<li>262117 Cyber Security Architect<\/li>\n<li>262118 Cyber Security Operations Coordinator<br \/>\n\t\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These updates ensure Australian employers and global professionals can access broader pathways while helping Australia to address critical skill shortages and remain competitive in the global market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe updated Core Skills Occupation List unlocks increased opportunities for employers, regional areas, and skilled professionals to join and uplift Australia\u2019s dynamic tech workforce,\u201d said Josh Griggs, ACS Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThese new occupations and the Skills in Demand visa are essential for addressing the nation\u2019s pressing demand for specialised expertise in fields like cybersecurity and data science. By opening these doors, we are not only meeting immediate industry needs but also building a pipeline of talent for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To support applicants, ACS has integrated industry-recognised vendor certifications into some of its migration pathways, giving professionals the opportunity to demonstrate both currency and specialisation in their skills. ACS will also continue providing comprehensive guidance and webinars to assist applicants and migration agents with the Migration Skills Assessment (MSA) process.<\/p>\n<p>The need for skilled migration is underscored by findings from ACS\u2019s Digital Pulse report, which projects Australia will need 1.3 million technology workers by 2030. With demand for cybersecurity professionals alone expected to double by 2030, skilled migration plays a pivotal role in securing Australia\u2019s technology future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be supporting employers and skilled professionals in accessing these new pathways. Skilled migration is a vital pillar in ensuring Australia remains competitive on the global stage,\u201d added Griggs. \u201cWith these updates, ACS reaffirms its commitment to helping skilled migrants build rewarding careers in technology while supporting the nation\u2019s economic growth and innovation through diverse pathways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For detailed information about the updated skilled occupation categories and ACS\u2019s support initiatives, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acs.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.acs.org.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><h9>Image credit: iStock.com\/SeventyFour<\/h9><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologydecisions.com.au\/content\/it-management\/news\/ten-new-roles-now-open-under-migration-skills-assessment-program-1397445859?utm_source=rss\">Go to Technology Decisions<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten new roles now open under Migration Skills Assessment program The Australian Computer Society (ACS) has announced 10 new specialist occupations are now available under its Migration Skills Assessment program.
