Description xiv, 100 pages ; 30 cm Series RIRDC publication, 1440-6845 ; no. 10/077 RIRDC publication ; no. 10/077 Summary "Many small rural communities with ageing populations and limited opportunities for young people are not attracting skilled workers, but have a flow of skilled people through the community as locums, seasonal workers or contractors. This project investigated the question: how can rural communities capture maximum benefit from professional and other highly skilled workers in the context of an increasingly mobile and transitory workforce? It found that rural communities derive a wide range of benefits from mobile skilled workers. Effectiveness of the integration process determines the nature and extent of mobile skilled worker contribution to the community. Community settings that encourage and support mobile skilled worker integration are identified in terms of culture, leadership and interactional infrastructure. These same settings also influence mobile skilled worker retention in rural communities"--Publisher's website Notes "June 2010" "RIRDC Project No. PRJ-000387" Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject Seasonal labor -- Services for -- Australia.
