There Is a Lack of Qualified People, Technicians, and Engineers for Various Job Fronts, Forcing Portugal to Import Labor
Surprisingly, business owners in Portugal are seeking labor from other countries on social media, including Brazil. Many report that they are looking in job centers, newspaper ads, online, and other means of communication, but simply cannot meet the necessary demand that their projects require. Below is a list of the main areas where professionals are lacking in Portugal:
- 10 thousand in the Textile sector
- 28 in Metallurgy and Metal Mechanics
- 70 thousand in Construction
- 40 in Hospitality and Catering
A phenomenon of disinterest among the youth in working in the country is the cause of this deficit; many go abroad, leaving the internal market without engineers and technicians who are fundamental to the industry in Portugal.

In the hospitality sector, the situation is even worse! Experts say that qualification schools produce only 100 people per year, but this number would need to be at least 5 times higher. Unions state that low salaries and excessive working hours also contribute to this rejection.
Metalworking companies are beginning to take radical measures and are opening their own qualification and training centers to try to circumvent this situation. Here are some of the latest opportunities that we reported here on the portal as examples:
