LinkedIn profileABOUT TWO SHORES
Two countries.
A shared endeavour.
Skilled people. Recognised qualifications.
New opportunities to work, earn and return home.
OUR BUSINESS
Recognising skills.
Opening pathways.
Experience has value. It should open doors.
Many workers have deep practical expertise. Yet without the right formal qualifications, opportunities abroad can remain out of reach.
Two Shores Group brings expertise in education, accreditation and labour mobility across Australia and Vietnam. We partner with education organisations to assess and formally recognise existing skills through recognition of prior learning.
That recognition can create a pathway to skilled employment and skilled migration programs. We connect workers with businesses that need their expertise, with an initial focus on Vietnam and Australia.
THE PEOPLE IN THE JOURNEY
Built around skill.
Grounded in respect.
01 / WORKERS
Expertise worth recognising.
Workers bring the skills that make this possible. Their dignity, choices and wellbeing belong at the centre of the journey. Our aim is better opportunities, greater earning potential and a stronger future at home.
02 / EDUCATION PARTNERS
Recognition with rigour.
Our education partners assess what people already know and can do. Recognition of prior learning provides a formal process to assess that experience against qualification requirements.
03 / EMPLOYERS
Skills where they are needed.
Employers need people with proven expertise. We help make the connection to skilled workers through education and recognised qualifications.
Qualifications, employment and visa outcomes depend on individual assessment and applicable requirements. No outcome is guaranteed.
A FUTURE BACK HOME
The journey continues
beyond arrival.
Work abroad can change what is possible at home.
Our vision reaches beyond the first job. It includes the chance to earn more, build experience and return home with greater choices for the future.
Two Shores is the facilitator throughout this connection: bringing together workers, education partners and employers around a shared opportunity.
