Employment in Madeira
I am a Madeiran national who is currently in England; I have studied both in Madeira and in England and am a Law Graduate. I speak fluent Portuguese and English and am at present thinking of moving back to Madeira, however I would like to firstly check the employment opportunities available to me. I am looking to work in the area of Law, translation, for the Government, or in any other similar area where I can use all my qualifications and skills. Is there anyone who could possibly help me by giving me advice and pointing me in the right direction?
I would be greatly appreciated.

Tania, it sounds like you are an educated woman and if your qualifications are as good as you say they are, you can contact a number or foreign embassy's such as US or UK and offer your services to them or start your own agency in Funchal.
Madeira is a great place to visit but it doesn't have the infrastructure like the US or other parts of Europe to allow abundant opportunity for a good life style.
Tania,
I wish you all the luck if that is what you choose to do.
I wish to set up my Solar PV and Solar Thermal business on the Island.
We currently have a company in the UK that dose this and wish to find a more pleasant environment to run my business from.
Our supplier here in the Uk could ship at very low cost to us.
I am interested in expansion to Spain and other parts of mainland Portugal and this could be a good opportunity for locals as we would be looking at employing fitters and qualified electricians in this field.
Is there anyone able to offer any help or advice on how to get me started please.
My knowlege of Madeira is very good as we have made many visits there. A couply for business but mainly pleasure.
Although I speak no Portugese (yet) as I am willing to learn and I know there are plenty of good English speaking Portugese on Madeira I feel this is not a great hurdle to overcome.
Thank you for your wise comments and candid views on business in Madeira.
We have done a lot of reserch and have a friend who owns a property agency in Funchal who also gave us some advice.
It is sad to learn that the economy is fairing worse than the UK and we know, having been through two previouse recessions how hard it is now.
We install a lot of solar products here and thats with no sunshine.
Hope things get better soon.
Kind Regards,
Ralph
