Teaching graduates facing a 47,000-person queue for a permanent job in NSW are being welcomed with open arms halfway across the world.

Lauren Goldsmith has just secured her first full-time job, weeks before the Notre Dame student is due to finish her teaching degree.

Come January she will be in front of a year 3 class in a school in Blenheim, England.

Along with her friends and fellow students Caitlin Wallace, Jake Kercheval and Joshua Hudson, Ms Goldsmith saw a campus presentation in May from an international recruiter looking to fill teacher positions in England, which is in the grips of a teacher shortage "crisis".
