Sectors
International talent for hard-to-fill roles
SkillShift focuses on sectors where employers structurally struggle to find enough suitable professionals, and where the Philippines offers relevant education, vocational skills or international experience. We assess not only whether candidates are available, but also whether the role, employment conditions, permit route and Philippine DMW process are workable.
