2013, Australia: A NSW cheesemaker says he can't expand his booming business because he can't find staff.

John Christensen, from New England Cheese at Nowendoc, milks 90 goats and 80 Jersey cows and manufactures products for 30 Sydney supermarkets.

He's got five positions vacant and has been forced to look overseas to fill them.

"Our biggest problem is that universities, Melbourne University (Gilbert Chandler campus) and Charles Stuart at Wagga Wagga, closed down their food technology courses for cheese making," he said.

"There's nowhere else, no TAFE colleges, no-one is set up at the moment for training."

You can study cheese making at artisnal schools, but it is not atypical for cheese makers to have degrees in food technology.
