Hi Hemanta and welcome to our community!

To secure employer sponsorship in Australia, you’ll typically need to find a job with a company willing to sponsor you for a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) or a Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494) if you’re open to regional areas.

Steps to Get Sponsored:
1. Check if Your Occupation is Eligible
  - Food Technologist (ANZSCO 234212) is currently on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), meaning you can apply for a TSS visa (subclass 482) if you find an employer willing to sponsor you.
  - If you are open to regional areas, Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (subclass 494) visa could also be an option.
2. Find Sponsored Jobs
  - Start your job search at 482jobs.com (all jobs listed here offer visa sponsorship).
  - Also check Seek and Indeed by searching for “Food Technologist sponsorship” or “Quality Assurance sponsorship.”
  - Use LinkedIn (https://linkedin.com) to connect with Australian employers in the food industry.
3. Prepare for Employers
  - Your resume and cover letter should highlight your experience in food technology, particularly in quality assurance and extruded snacks.
  - Obtain an IELTS or PTE English test if required.
  - Some employers may prefer candidates with Australian-recognised skills assessments (not always required for TSS 482 but may be useful for PR pathways).
4. Alternative Pathways
  - If employer sponsorship is difficult, consider applying for an Australian skilled visa (e.g., subclass 189 or 190) if eligible. You would need a skills assessment from VETASSESS for Food Technologist.
I hope this helps for starters. Please let me know how I can assist further!

All the best
