Apertures or opportunities (8)

I believe the answer is:

openings

(Other definitions for openings that I've seen before include "Job opportunities or apertures" , "Gaps or beginnings" , "Holes or opportunities" , "Opportunities, for employment say" , "Apertures or job vacancies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
