Professions in high demand -
Skill Shortages in New Zealand
Immigration New Zealand has acknowledged that certain skills are in particularly high demand in New Zealand and is making it easier for migrants with those occupations to apply for a resident or work visa.
The Immediate
Skill Shortage List contains professions which are currently in high demand in New Zealand
and shows qualifications and/or experience required for work visas
as well as the recommended standard for work visa applicants with an offer
of employment.
