The Great Migration is underway. That is without a doubt. Many people are looking to relocate to another country by leveraging their existing educational credentials, experience, and skill set. Another group is attempting to pave the way for their children by determining the best possible path to overseas placement – but this brings about another phenomenon. The emergence of “Desperation Migration,” in which people seek to leave the shores of our resplendent emerald island by any means necessary for positions and placements that may not be ideal for them. Some end up in jail, while others become victims of fraudulent or deceptive agencies.
Every aspect of this points towards one direction: lack of awareness of one’s own self-worth and know-how, a genuine approach to opportunities that fit each individual, and the unknown risk of life, repercussions, and other consequences in taking shortcuts. Such irresponsible activities harm all Sri Lankans and our country, causing embarrassment to those dignified Sri Lankan expatriates. Such unethical practices risk degrading Asia’s most literate nation in the eyes of the developed world on ethics and values, which must be avoided.
“Live in Australia” is an exclusive migration symposium designed to educate skilled potentials on what makes Australia the ideal place to settle as an individual or as a family, connect people, build bridges, and plan for a bright future. The symposium’s primary goal is to educate the Sri Lankan youth force about the rightful path and opportunities that await them in Australia. With the ongoing incidents and fraudulent paths that our skilled potentials tend to take, it is critical that they are guided along the right path of acquiring suitable opportunities that fit their profile. With the right set of skills, a person can work in any trade or profession.
Given the void, Australian Migration Consultants, decided to launch “Live in Australia – Migration Symposium” on 1 December from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Nelum Pokuna Theatre, Colombo 7, with the hope of addressing the pitfalls that may exist if you do not set about it in the right direction and providing guidance on the best possible countries. The symposium will bring together migration advisors, economists, diaspora members, and expatriates from a variety of countries to provide an advisory platform for prospective migrants and overseas job seekers.
Commenting on the event Australian Migration Consultants Managing Director Manjula Kulatunga said: “We couldn’t have had a better opportunity than this grand symposium to celebrate our 15 years of corporate presence in Sri Lanka as a business, enabling an opportunity to enriching Sri Lankan lives, than this symposium.”
“It is indeed a timely window towards ‘giving back to society’, at a time when our nation needs it the most, and we at AMC are more than delighted to share our wisdom with the participants and lead the way,” Manjula added.
This will be the first symposium of many starting with Australia as the inaugural country in focus, followed by Canada, New Zealand, USA and the European region giving the aspirant the opportunity to engage with all aspects of getting closer to a USD wallet.
