Hospitality Industry in need of skilled workers

Much of the industry pivoted sharply to contactless deliveries and take-away menus, but now that society is emerging again it's facing a new challenge: a shortage of skilled workers.

highlights

• Trained baristas and experienced chefs are hard to find
• Prior to the pandemic, nearly 80 per cent of new enrolments in hospitality courses were international students.
• The trans-Tasman travel bubble could be a lifeline to the skills shortage

The industry was heavily reliant on overseas workers, many of whom returned home during the pandemic.
