A major skills shortage created by the Sunshine Coasts construction and tourism booms has sparked the inaugural Noosa Jobs Day, Wednesday October 12. Leading job agencies, East Coast Apprenticeships (ECA) and BUSY At Work, will doorknock key growth areas between Noosa, Peregian Beach and Cooroy to track down apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities for young people.
Recent data released by Tourism Research Australia shows that the hospitality industry, as well as the tourism one, received an incremental boost of nearly $1 billion. It revealed that an additional $950 million extra had been spent by domestic travellers in the Sunshine State.
The overwhelming consensus is that while the new technology will change many jobs, it’s unlikely to result in an entire workforce being replaced by robots. So, if you’re lining up an an apprenticeship or traineeship in the coming years, what, if anything, could change?
The Brisbane Development website has the slogan: ‘Go Tall Not Sprawl’ and it’s pretty apt for the developments planned for the city. With so many developments planned and underway, there isn’t a better time to be a builder’s apprentice, for instance, in the region. Brisbanites who are looking for apprenticeship opportunities in the industry will be encouraged by the plans that have been put in place for the state’s most populous city.
Hutchinson Builders has set itself a task of increasing its indigenous construction workforce by four per cent over the next three years. This will also include supporting local indigenous businesses in regional areas as well as remote ones.
The efforts of the Queensland Firebirds and the North Queensland Cowboys over the past year have meant a lot to Queenslanders. Now thanks to the construction of new stadiums, you can go from supporting your team on Sunday to helping them build their future on Monday. Those looking for apprenticeships in Queensland could have a helping hand in these developments or look for traineeships in fields such as hospitality which grow to support our sporting stars.
BUSY At Work is once again proudly partnering with The JobShow to be held on 19 October at the TAFE Qld East Coast, Mooloolaba Campus.
Presented by the Sunshine Coast Council, The JobShow is the largest one-stop shop of current and upcoming job vacancies on the Sunshine Coast and brings together hundreds of available jobs from across the region in the one place, at the one time on the one day.
The Labour Force figures released last week show unemployment rate has fallen to 5.6 per cent in August 2016, while participation rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 64.7 per cent. This was despite the Bureau of Statistics estimating the loss of 3,900 jobs last month.Since May 2016, the seasonally adjusted underemployment rate has increased by 0.3 percentage points to 8.7 per cent.
One of the key benefits of pursuing apprenticeships and traineeships is that they provide you with crucial practical experience within your chosen industry. This on-the-job training can prove instrumental in building your skills, confidence and employability.
