From the information above, it's clear that New Zealand's labor market focuses on three main sectors:

♦ Engineering
♦ Health
♦ Management

For foreigners, New Zealand only accepts skilled labor with quite stringent requirements. This could be considered a strength in terms of producing a high-skilled workforce for the country’s labor market. Therefore, understanding real market demands and assessing one's own capabilities will help students better align their career goals and enhance their future competitiveness in the workforce.

Policy to stay and work up to 3 years after graduation in New Zealand

The New Zealand government encourages eligible international students to stay and work long-term and settle in the country. Starting from November 26, 2018, international students are allowed to stay from 1 to 3 years after graduation. This policy is beneficial for students who wish to work and settle in New Zealand. Important changes to visa policies are a significant highlight aimed at attracting international students to pursue higher qualifications and ensuring a pathway for immigration for those with qualifications and skills that New Zealand needs.
