Is Australia ready for mature age interns?

Under the radar, unable to register with Centrelink and not officially counted in unemployment figures, Australia has an untapped pool of talented workers which is one solution to Australia’s talent shortage. This untapped talent pool of over 50, underemployed and overqualified workers (O5UW’s) - are an unexplored territory just waiting to be re-engaged and drive economic prosperity for Australia. No business, government or community can afford to keep crying wolf - “there is a talent shortage”. According to global recruitment specialist Hays, an increase in overseas migrants may counter some talent shortages, but not all.
