Employment Issue Faced by International Students Assignment Sample

Action Plan Proposal

Project Title

Development of a program relating to the issues with employment that are being faced by the International students in Australia due to the ongoing pandemic, COVID-19.

Target Group

The International students belong to countries like Canada, India, etc. The community they wish to study and have a career in is Adelaide Primary Health Network. These students have entered the community that has a population of 1,261,609 people with the land area being 155,309 ha. The population density is 8.12 persons per hectare. The area of specialization in nursing.

Some of the current situations that the nursing students are facing are barriers in education, some are facing a loss of jobs, the market does not have any suitable jobs for them because of the global pandemic[1].

The students who were pursuing their studies in primary health care nurses have been temporarily barred from enhancing their theoretical knowledge and give their practical help to the community. This is because they do not have any internship options. After all, most of the medical staff is nowadays busy looking after the covid patients and so it is difficult to focus on any other aspect of life. However, the Index of Relative Socio-Advantage of the community indicates that the students will be benefitted from the community because when covid ends, they will have a good quality of education, immense job opportunities, and high incomes[2].

Funding available

$30,000 per year for 2 years = total project funding $60,000

Approach

Implementation

Activities and Strategies

The project outcomes are achieved by adopting the following strategies. The overarching strategy is to include all the students who are studying and all of them who have been badly affected in terms of jobs due to Covid 19.

The strategies that the program intends to use to achieve the above-mentioned targets are as follows:

· The first and the most important strategy is to improve the quality of education that is being received by International students. This is because they have chosen the Adelaide Primary Health Network community on the basis that they will receive a world-class education. Therefore, firstly this expectation will be fulfilled by deploying more quality educators in the education system.

· The second most strategy is related to the ways the students will get the education. The safest way to educate students is by teaching them virtually. Therefore, technologically advanced teaching practices will be taken into consideration in times of global pandemic. This strategy also aims at keeping safe the health and well-being of the students because it is still not fully safe to step out of the houses because of the coronavirus.

· The last strategy that will be adopted will be that a quota can be set in each organization for the International students who are looking for a job. For this, the relevant organizations will be approached and they will be requested to keep a minimum of seats for offering jobs to the potential International students. However, the definition of potential will be left on the organizations to decide as per the requirements of the job position.

Project timeline

The duration of the project is 24 months.

The timeline of the project is expected to be as follows:

· In 3 months: The required technology will be purchased or adopted, as the case may be.

· In 6 months: The International students will be used to the know-how of using the advanced technology by which they are being taught.

· In 9 months: Possibly the efforts of approaching the organizations for having a quota for international students will be successful and the capable ones will be employed.

· In 12 months: The students will be placed in their desired organization or at least in an organization that acknowledges their area of expertise.

The milestones that need to be achieved during these 12 months are as follows:

· The International students will have to be made extra excellent in their areas of studies so that there is left no chance of rejection when they apply for a job.

· The technology that is to be adopted will have to be the latest one so that the International students are not behind anyone.

It will contribute in the long term to changing people’s lives (capacity building) by strengthening the theoretical aspect of the field of study.
