Non-English Speaking Background (NESB) Immigrant Women in the Australian Workforce
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper in which the writer provides an overview of the problem and research surrounding the issue of NESB.

But in light of maintained immigration levels over the past decade, the path towards changing the negative perceptions of NESB immigrants within the workforce is imbedded not only in a system designed to enhance language skill development, but also to dispel the myths related to their lack of skills and their long-term impacts on the job market.
