What are skills shortages?



Finding a career that you enjoy and are good at can help you succeed in the workforce.

But it can also be useful to understand what skills are in demand or may be in demand in the future (called 'skills shortages'). The Department of Employment conducts regular research to identify what skills are in short supply across Australia.

The demand for skilled employees can vary from region to region. Skills shortages are caused by many different factors such as:

people moving out of regional areas
not enough training places for certain skilled occupations
changes in technology
a large increase in construction work in a region.

Skill shortages can benefit job seekers because:

there may be more job vacancies and less competition for people with that skill and
wages and conditions may be better if employers need to attract people to the occupation.

For information on which occupations are experiencing skills shortages visit the National, state and territory skill shortage information page on the Department of Employment's website.

This report can help you understand which skills and jobs are in shortage and where there may be opportunities. However, it’s important not to pursue an occupation just because it is currently in shortage. The labour market can change quickly and the occupation may not be in shortage for long. It's more important to find something that you enjoy and that interests you.
Occupations treated as exceptions

When we assess applications for Essential Skills Work Visas or award points for Skilled Migrant Resident Visas, occupations on this list will be treated as being skill level 1 to 3 — but only if you are paid at least the New Zealand median wage of NZD $25.50 per hour.

Nobody likes the idea of becoming a second-tier citizen in a foreign land but come to think of the senseless killings everywhere by Fulani bandits, Boko haram and SARS all these make going abroad a juicy option. Moreso, if you have the required skills to earn a legitimate livelihood
