Dr Thi Tuyet Tran (June Tran)

is a Lecturer in Management at RMIT University, Melbourne. She holds doctorates in Management and Education and has academic and research experience in Vietnam, Germany and Australia. Her research examines skilled migrant employment, workplace integration and graduate employability, with a particular focus on how recruitment practices and labour-market institutions shape migrants’ career opportunities. Drawing on research with skilled migrants and Australian recruiters, June investigates why qualified migrants often struggle to secure professional employment commensurate with their skills and experience, and what can be done to address these barriers.
