Why New Zealand?
Within
a relatively short time, New Zealand has developed a sophisticated,
unrestrictive business environment that competes aggressively in world markets.
It joins our predominantly agriculture-based economy which continues to deliver
the bulk of our export earnings. The success of this has seen decreasing
unemployment, a strengthening dollar, soaring stock values and business
confidence at an all-time high.
The
dynamic growth in the business market has boosted real incomes, broadened and
deepened the technological capabilities of industries and given businesses the
impetus to invest in new plant, machinery and staff. Some of the industries
really surging ahead are in niche sectors of manufacturing, information and
communications technology, tourism, film production, editing and special
effects, bio-tech, wood processing, construction, call centres and retail
trade.
However,
this unprecedented period of growth has resulted in a number of occupation
categories reporting a desperate need for skilled, qualified personnel. And
now, more than ever, New Zealand is looking overseas for migrants with the
experience, skills and desire to make a difference. For instance in the Health
and Education sectors there is a need for more teachers, nurses, doctors,
radiologists etc
