Slide11Offshore Skills AssessmentConsortium  (VETASSESS) The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to assist States and Territories to address skills shortages. A process was developed to make it easier for migrants applying in the general skilled migration scheme to work as soon as they reach Australia. In May 2007 five Australian colleges and institutes including ETI representing TAFE WA  formed a consortium with VETASSESS as the lead member. The consortium members are: • Education and Training International    representing Swan, South West    and Great Southern TAFEs • Kangan Batman Institute • Victoria University • Box Hill Institute • Gipps TAFE
