Need Chefs in New Zealand: Are You Up For This Opportunity?

long term skill shortage list work visa nz

Did you know chefs are on Immigration New Zealand’s long-term skill shortage list?

Meaning, the New Zealand government actively encourages chefs from other countries to come on-board and live here.There are several reasons why! For instance, there are fewer people in NZ completing chef training. And those who are cooking graduates, many of them don’t remain a chef forever.

So, if you’re into cooking and have long wished to move to a beautiful country where there are seamless career opportunities–this is perhaps a great opportunity for you. Both in the cookery and hospitality industries, the need for people with adequate cooking skills is high.

The Challenges

But then that said, even when the demand for chefs is higher and foreigners are more likely to get their NZ work or residence visa, things are far from easier. There are several challenges and caveats on the way that you must address and bypass. For one, you need to have a Level 4 qualification and minimum 5-year experience in banqueting or commercial catering.

Many aspirants might not have the formal qualification to meet these stringent requirements that prioritize good skills atop. Opting for formal (and local) training to acquire enough knowledge, skills, and experience is usually considered a smart choice. This is truer for the students who have a clean career canvas. The institutes like Professional Business and Restaurant School have been meeting this market gap for years now, delivering intensive training on the back of a smart curriculum that prepares the chefs of tomorrow.
