Kia Orana, Welcome.
A warm Pacific Welcome.
The purpose of this website is to provide practical information and relevant contacts for people who are either considering working in the Cook Islands, or who are already here. The Cook Islands relies heavily on international labour resources, and the information on this website should serve to smooth the pathway of transition and assist in adjusting to our culture, our environment, and our Country.
Special thanks to the Cook Islands Chamber of Commerce who have managed this project. This website was made possible with funding from the International Labour Organisation through the New Zealand Government-funded Pacific Climate Change, Migration and Human Security (PCCMHS) Programme Phase II.
Thanks also to those that provided information and allowed their contacts to be shared.
