Skill Shortage in New Zealand


By Paul Geoff

New Zealand is desperately seeking skilled British workers to fill vacancies in its workforce. The New Zealand Department of Labour has recently published some astonishing statistics stating only 54% of advertised jobs in New Zealand were filled within 10 weeks of advertising.

The occupations in which New Zealand has a significant shortage of skilled workers can be found on the Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL). If you are bored of your currently circumstance there are some very good opportunities for migrants at the moment in the country.

Similar to Australia, Canada and the UK, potential migrants applying for residency in New Zealand must qualify via a points system. Points are awarded to applicants who are a confirmed offer of employment which meets the specifications of the LTSSL and have either qualified or experienced in the given occupation.
