New Zealand Plans to Open 30,000 Career Opportunities for Filipinos Spanning over 2 years

For people who are searching for career opportunities and job offers, there is good news, as New Zealand has announced it will open more than 30,000 job opportunities. Along with DOLE, POEA, Filipino, and New Zealand recruiters, they are undergoing talks on how Filipinos could work there and what type of jobs are up for grabs.

New Zealand's rise from the devastating 6.3 magnitude earthquake that hit the country in 2011 has been well-documented. About an estimated worth of Nz$200 building projects are expected to start now and between 2020. Because the project is so big, the country is in need of more skilled workers to aid them in accomplishing the said project within the timeframe they indicated.

Kurt Reed of the AFW Trades in New Zealand said that they need "Very very hardworking, productive people with good english skills, and good technical skills."

The job openings span for over 2 years, focusing on construction-related jobs and is open to everyone interested, as Jun Macas, President of Australia & New Zealand Association of Employment Providers of the Philippines (ANZAEPP) said that "these jobs are not exclusively for Filipinos."

The wage for these jobs is NZ$18 per hour, or equivalent to PhP539.452.
