Relocating to Aberdeen

'Rising unemployment levels, willingness to relocate and the high level of English communication skills' in Malta are the reasons that led the city council of Scottish city Aberdeen to come to Malta in search of teachers. From the Aberdeen citw website:

The demand for qualified secondary school teachers in Aberdeen is to be addressed by taking the search for new recruits to Malta. The City Council is taking the innovative step of holding a recruitment fair on the Mediterranean island from March 1-3 to encourage teachers to consider relocating to the Granite City..

The event is the second recruitment initiative in Malta and organisers hope to repeat the success of the first event in November which led to eight Maltese bus drivers being recruited for Stagecoach Bluebird and successfully settling in the city. Rising unemployment levels, willingness to relocate and the high level of English communication skills identified in Malta have led to the decision to hold the event there. The hospitality vacancies range from waiting staff to head housekeepers and have already attracted a high level of interest due to the pre-event publicity within Malta.
