What is “Skilled”? • An offer of employment or current employment in New Zealand will therefore be assessed as skilled if: • it is relevant to the principal applicant's* recognised qualification; and • it requires considerable specialist, technical or management expertise; or • the employer considers, and the NZIS is satisfied, that the employment requires considerable technical, specialist or managerial expertise that the applicant has obtained through relevant previous work experience in which that expertise was a key component
