On July 30th, the Australian Meat School (AMS) was honoured to welcome strategic partners AMPC, Teys Australia, Response Group International, and San Hà Foods, along with the delegation from the Australian Consulate General in HCMC, to visit the school.
This visit wasn’t just about inspecting the facilities and training at AMS. It was a chance to strengthen partnerships and offer AMS students the opportunity to meet directly with Australian business and government representatives, paving the way for future job opportunities.
Teys Australia, established in 1946, is one of Australia’s leading meat processing and exporting companies. AMS students will have the opportunity to be recruited by Teys Australia directly after completing their training program.
AMPC (Australian Meat Processor Corporation) plays a crucial role in research and development for Australia’s red meat industry. As a co-sponsor of AMS, AMPC helps ensure that students are equipped with the necessary skills to maintain Australia’s competitive edge in the global meat market.
Ms. Amanda Carter, Project Manager (Human Resources and Culture) of AMPC, shared: “Currently, there is a labour shortage in Australia. This training cooperation project brings a positive aspect to society, to the recruitment ecosystem, and to Australia’s meat processing industry as we acquire a skilled workforce from Vietnam. Through this, both parties can build a long-term labour cooperation relationship.”
Career Opportunities for AMS Students
AMS students had a rare chance to connect with leaders from Teys Australia and AMPC helping them better understand their future career paths in Australia.
Mr Shaun Crapp, Group HR Manager at Teys Australia, said:“We are truly impressed by the dedication and hard work of Vietnamese workers. The training partnership is a great step forward. Vietnamese workers will earn the same pay as other workers, with an average annual income of 70,000 AUD for three or four-year contracts. I hope these contracts will become more long-term in the future.”
Mr Lachlan Teys, Group General Manager of Process Improvement at Teys Australia, added: “In the future, we hope AMS will train about 100 students each year and that more Vietnamese students will come to work in Australia.”
A Visit from the Australian Consul-General to HCMC
Later in the day, Ms Sarah Hooper, Australian Consul-General in Ho Chi Minh City, together with Mr Brent Stewart, Deputy Consul-General, and the delegation from DoHA, visited AMS.
They were introduced to AMS’s training programs, goals, and Australian standard facilities.
This was also an excellent opportunity for students at AMS to directly engage with government representatives, demonstrating transparency and clarity in all of our processes.
AMS would like to sincerely thank its strategic partners and the Australian Department of Home Affairs for visiting and supporting the program. This visit not only solidified our strong partnerships but also opened up new career paths for our students.
At AMS, we are committed to building a transparent and ethical labour pathway, ensuring that every step— from training to job placement— is clear, giving students and their families peace of mind.
