Q: I want to go to university next year but would like to enter into a field where there is a shortage of skilled or specialised individuals for an industry. What careers are in demand and do they differ from country to country?
A: Great question! If you do a basic Google search there is a ton of information available however it is not really focused enough. One idea is to look at various country immigration platforms which will provide visa requirements in terms of skills shortages. It is a shortcut of note but it’s a clever way to discover what career options are needed within a region. Countries that have skill shortages tend to open the doors to qualified people in demand from other countries. Therefore individuals within a country should look to pursue the roles which that country is looking to seek talent outside of its borders.

“If Africa isn’t at the top of the list of popular destinations for Gap Years, then it certainly should be. This is a continent in need and helpers are received with smiling faces and grateful hands”- Julia Anne Creamer (founder of On African Soil).
Out of Africa (the Sydney Pollack’s creation), a romantic epic starring Meryl Steep and Robert Redford, was one of Hollywood’s many portrayals of Africa being a mighty adventurous place. But in a way it almost forgot that Africa is a continent on its own, segmented by multiple countries and regions. Though as romantic as the movie was, times have changed and travelling the planet has become more of a commercial affair rather than one that promises a magical adventure.
However Africa as a destination, big as it may be, is still a huge point of interest for many a passionate traveller or young individual looking for life’s next big adventure.
