Maintain training benchmark for subclass 457

Visa subclass 457, that is to substitute the skill shortage for some of occupations in Australia. It is not design for foreign workers to replace or take away jobs from Australia people. It is important that employers train their Australian workforce so that they have essential skills to fulfill the position in the future. Employers can't always give job to foreign workers!

Therefore, it is important that the employers maintain their training benchmark spending every year while they employ their foreign workers under visa subclass 457. It is an obligation, not an optional. There are many ways employers can meet their training benchmark requirement. As long as the spending is to upgrade skills of their Australian people workforce, that can be counted toward their training expenditure.
