Settlement Services International
Dr KIEU (South Eastern Metropolitan) (09:44): Last week I had the great pleasure of officially opening the Settlement Services International office on behalf of Minister Jaala Pulford. As a former refugee it was truly heartening to learn about the expansion and growth of SSI in Victoria. The Victorian government is deeply committed to ensuring that all Victorians can enjoy the social, cultural and economic benefits of belonging to a diverse and dynamic society. Although many migrants to Victoria have made such contributions already, more remains to be done to improve access to employment. The main barriers facing migrant and refugee jobseekers include insufficient Australian work experience and understanding of how to navigate the employment system, limited support with resumes and interview skills and limited English proficiency. These barriers must be addressed. That is why I was thrilled to learn that SSI has recently been selected as a delivery partner for our Jobs Victoria advocates program.
