6. Civil engineer
Students who are studying to become civil engineers or who have obtained a civil degree are highly sought after on the labor market. A civil engineering education often lasts for five years, but looking at the job opportunities after completing studies, it strongly suggests that the education is a long-term investment.

7. Plumbing technician
One of the professions in which there is a greatest shortage right now is plumbing technicians.

8. Dentists and nurses
Do you enjoy taking care of other people and are interested in health and wellness? Then you should invest in becoming a nurse or dentist - not least now in corona times, we have all noticed that the demand for trained healthcare personnel has been huge.
The lack of healthcare staff is not limited to the corona pandemic, when this period of time is over we still need to have well trained healthcare staff to take care of us when we get sick. At Hyred we offer part time jobs for students who are training to become nurses, dentists and other care-related professions.
