OMEGA works to see the greater Auckland region prosper by fully engaging the contributions of skilled immigrants, and by helping bring an end to workplace skill shortages. 

OMEGA is helping to keep the promise – the promise made to: 

All New Zealanders:  that NZ Inc is a matter of national pride, and together we will work to future-proof ourselves against skill shortages and their consequences for our country.
Our next generation:  that they will benefit from a more productive city and nation.
New immigrants:  who have given up much and committed themselves to New Zealand: that above experiencing an exciting, vibrant and healthy life in our land of plenty, they will also be able to fully utilise their skills in the workplace.
Our founders:  to continue to deliver on the legacy they created for us.

 


 


The work of OMEGA is made possible through generous funding partnerships with several New Zealand organisations.
