More so with the advancement of use of science and Technology as becoming the key to successful competition upon the global market place. Has in-self brought to-light, a sever shortage of fully qualified and trained work force capable of filling the short falls.
Within the high volume, high value arena in manufacture of Electronics/Auto manufacturing/Chemical based products in Plastics/environmentally friendly paints and solvents to name only of a few.
For the requirements at present as example for vehicle assembly alone, is not the problem. For few hands are required at this task. The task is computer operated robotics with only the human hands required to set up and programme.
In as so, this becomes the problem. There are fewer and few of those technicians available qualified with specific skills and training for these jobs.
The following is a solution to meeting this problem.

EU plans 'blue card' for skilled migrants
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
The EU is planning a "blue card" to attract skilled immigrants.This would allow fast-track procedure to get work permits. The plan faces resistance in some countries like Germany and Austria.
BRUSSELS, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The European Union is planning
a "blue card" to lure highly skilled migrants by offering
financial and housing benefits, and cutting red tape.
The 27-nation bloc is trying to compete with the U.S. "green
card" system and schemes in other Western countries for the
best-qualified migrant labour which is increasingly important to
plug labour gaps in the ageing developed world.
The scheme, proposed by the European Commission on Tuesday,
would offer candidates a fast-track procedure to get work
permits.
It would be made it easier for them to work in another EU
country, have their family join them, receive public housing and
get long-term residency status, a draft shows.
To qualify for a blue card, a migrant would need an EU job
contract of at least one year guaranteeing a salary of at least
three times the minimum wage in the country concerned plus
health insurance, the text shows.
The proposal "aims ... to improve the EU's ability to
attract, and where necessary, to retain highly qualified
workers," the draft text to be approved by the EU executive on
Tuesday says.
"The EU as a whole ... seems not to be considered attractive
by highly qualified professionals in a context of very high
international competition," the text says, referring in
particular to the United States and Canada.
The scheme must gain approval from all 27 member states and
faces resistance in some countries, notably Germany.
The holder of a card would be able to have his or her family
join them, at the latest, six months after having asked for it
and without having to prove that he or she had reasonable
prospects of obtaining a permanent residence permit.
The holder of an EU blue card would be treated in the same
way as EU nationals regarding tax benefits, social assistance,
and payment of pensions when moving to another country.
The migrant should also be entitled to the same access to
public housing and study grants, although a member government
could chose to do so only after the person had stayed three
years in its territory.
The blue card would be valid for up to two years and could
then be renewed. It could be revoked if its holder lost his or
her job and was unemployed for more than three months.
The EU executive will also propose making it easier for
young high-skilled migrants to get the blue card.
Those under 30 years old would need only to earn twice the
minimum wage to be entitled to the scheme. Governments could
decide to waive the salary requirement altogether if the migrant
had obtained a Bachelor's or Master's degree in an EU state.
If they agree to the law, EU states would then have two
years to implement it.
