Press Release Body = The Australian Government has held an inquiry into employment in the tourism sector in late 2006. Restaurant & Catering Australia (RCA) made a presentation to the inquiry after having made a submission about its specific part of the industry.
The RCA submission dealt with the body\'s concerns about the skills shortage in the hospitality industry, with the sector requiring around 65,000 new roles but uncertainty over whether these could be filled with appropriately skilled staff.
Several potential solutions were discussed, including extending the number of hours overseas students were allowed to work to 30 hours; the possibility of using the 457 visa to bring in migrant workers and promotion of the industry\'s career opportunities.
