Top In-Demand Jobs in Cyprus per Industry

Let’s first run through the occupations with the most demand based on the industries they belong to.

Medical

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, jobs in the medical field were in huge demand. There was always a shortage of nurses, dentists and pharmacists, but in the last year and, supposedly in the next one as well – there will also be an increased demand for laboratory assistants, medical physicians, therapists and general practitioners. An interesting fact is also that universities in the field of medical and neuro- sciences are offering more and more PhD opportunities to graduates.

IT/Telecom

It comes as no surprise that the most in-demand jobs in Cyprus, and also among the highest paid ones, are those in the field of ICT. There is an ever-increasing demand for professionals who specialise in software and web development, cloud technologies, computer engineering, and machine learning, to name but a few.
