Jobs market opens up in bid to lure Chinese professionals
THE Irish jobs market is to be opened up to Chinese graduates in a landmark qualifications recognition deal.
The move is likely to lead to a stream of qualified Chinese workers arriving in search of jobs across the full spectrum including health, law and administration.
The deal is the first such mutual agreement, outside certain European countries, on the recognition of international higher level qualifications.
In keeping with normal practice, where appropriate, the graduates would have to satisfy requirements of professional bodies, such as the Irish Medical Council, in areas such as language and specific forms of professional training.
The decision, which comes into effect early next year, was announced yesterday by the Higher Education Training and Awards Council (HETAC) and follows an agreement signed by the Irish and Chinese governments, during a visit by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to China in January, with the Chinese prime Minister Wen Jia Bao.
HETAC chief executive Seamus Puirseil said: "When we invite people to work in Ireland, we have a moral and legal obligation to recognise their qualifications."
"The new entrants to our workforce from overseas are a valuable asset to our economy and society. But they must not be confined to menial or low level jobs when they have qualifications that will increase their earning potential and career development.
There are no figures for the number of Chinese graduates currently here, but there has been a huge influx of Chinese in recent years.
The Chinese represent the biggest single group (13pc) of international students here. While the majority are studying at undergraduate level, 11pc are postgraduates and so, under the new agreement, would possess the necessary qualifications to work here.
John Carr, general secretary of the Irish National Teachers Union said the announcement would be seen as hollow by many teachers from all over the world whose qualifications had not been recognised.
"Some of the most qualified teachers in the world have sought employment here and have been frustrated by rules and regulations that are insular in the extreme. Some have been refused recognition while other highly trained professionals are paid an "untrained" rate.
