JobTrainer must give importance to skills that are most sought-after

The central government must recognize the trades in high demand to guarantee the JobTrainer package is productive, industry heads said.

While the industry has invited the $2 billion JobTrainer -  the package which expands economical help to learners and apprentices, many mentioned that finding the right skills in the right field will be tough for Australia's financial recovery.

Workforce modeling by industry has found areas of high demand including the resources and power sector, civil, mechanical trades and engineering, and the renewable power source field.

Where is the greatest demand for mechanical engineers?

These trades and enterprises depend on refrigeration and cooling specialists.

Research charged by the Clean Energy Council (CEC) discovered there are 45,000 renewable employments available to anyone and much of the time these positions could go to previous coal employees and help local zones.

The research was distributed on the Australian Engineers and Technical Tradies site.

Renewable power source employments give a decent match to existing coal occupations across a range of blue and white-collar occupations, including construction and project managers, engineers, electrical repairmen, site managers, and mechanical specialists.

In excess of 450 Australian renewable energy source organizations were asked for the survey, covering large scale wind, solar-based and hydro, rooftop solar, and batteries.

The CEC said the point of the project was to discover what number of individuals were hired in renewable energy and in what occupations. It is the first large-scale study of renewable energy jobs in Australia.
