## pre-graduate
If you have undertaken part-time skilled employment work while completing a course of study, you may count this towards any General Skilled Migration skilled employment requirements as long as you were employed on a paid basis for at least 20 hours per week at the skilled level. Generally, pre-graduation skilled employment experience would be at the 'semi-skilled' rather than the 'skilled' level and therefore not be acceptable.

An exception to this may occur if you have undertaken skilled employment during post graduate or further study and you are already qualified for the particular occupation due to completion of a previous qualification. In this case, you may be working at the skilled level for that occupation.

If however, you are applying for a Skilled - Graduate (subclass 485) visa, you do not need to attach a suitable skills assessment when you lodge your application but you must provide evidence you have applied for a skills assessment at time of application. However, to facilitate us processing your application more quickly, it is strongly advised that applicants attach evidence of their suitable skills assessment when lodging their application.
