Overseas Tech Opportunities

There is a shortage of skilled tech workers globally especially for developers, architects and analysts. This phenomenon, coupled with South Africa's business confidence, lower growth and weak exchange rate, has resulted in higher than normal tech immigration. We all know someone that has moved and we know even more that are thinking about it.

The jobs we hear about the most are the English-speaking countries namely the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, however there are plenty of tech jobs in Europe, some of with preference given to Afrikaans speakers.

The Parvana Overseas Initiative

Parvana launched its European business based in the UK back in 2006. European work permits were difficult to obtain but thanks to the tech skills shortage it has gotten easier.

Parvana has partnered with a Belgian company to help facilitate to the work permits and relocation. We are looking for top-end skills to spend a contract in either Belgium or the Netherlands.
