State government spending influences the success of many different industries across Australia, ensuring there are apprenticeship opportunities and the support necessary for businesses to grow. In some cases, these investments impact multiple sectors, ensuring a wide range of benefits for the state economy.
Australia’s population is growing and ageing, putting pressure on a number of different services across the country. By 2020, according to McCrindle Research, Australia’s population will have risen to 24 million and the median age will be 40 years old, up from the 37 currently.
When the topic of apprentices comes up in conversation, most people often think of younger Australians, people fresh out of school looking to make their first steps into the world of work. While this might be the traditional view, the reality is very different, with people of all ages using apprenticeship opportunities as a way to support career changes or try out new industries at any stage of their life.
Australia’s construction industry is one of the country’s strongest, with infrastructure projects and residential developments both contributing to rising activity. While the industry has always been a hotbed for apprenticeship opportunities in Queensland, recent research has revealed it has also become a key driver of indigenous employment as well.
With hundreds of thousands of cars on the road around Queensland, it’s important that the state is home to safe streets and highways that can handle traffic flows and prevent accidents. The continuing infrastructure upgrades around the state are a great source of apprenticeship opportunities. The more the population continues to grow, the more cars and other vehicles that end up on Queensland roads, necessitating further spending.
It’s no secret that housing is in demand across Australia, and things are no different in Queensland. As the sector continues to grow, not only does it benefit the state’s future homeowners, it provides thousands of apprenticeship opportunities for people across Queensland.
Tourism and construction are two of Queensland’s most lucrative industries. While they’ve both offered plenty of jobs to people in the past, a new multi-million dollar project will see them combine to create a number of apprenticeship opportunities.
Infrastructure developments are an ongoing source of apprenticeship opportunities in Australia, especially as the country’s growing population continues to demand greater access to roads and other supporting services.
There’s plenty of construction and infrastructure activity happening on the Gold Coast, with one of the most active cities in the Sunshine State continuing to provide apprenticeship opportunities.
The state government has announced that Toowoomba-based shopping centre Grand Central will be supporting 550 hospitality and retail training places via a new partnership with TAFE Queensland South West.
