The Department of Immigration has held a briefing for about 30 business people in Armidale to discuss new measures to attract skilled migrant workers to the region.
The Northern Inland Regional Development Board hosted the meeting.
One of those who took part was Christine Kennedy of the Moonbi-based Andromeda Industries Group, who warned the skills shortage is preventing the company to be fully able to utilise its equipment.
She says it has the potential to hamper its ability to expand.
"We're looking at getting into the aeronautical component making and the joint Striker Force Program for the defence department. I'm sure we won't be the only ones in regional New South Wales looking for people with these experiences," she said.
