Skills Shortages

When thinking about a career direction it is important to consider a range of factors. Although demand for particular skills is useful to take into account, it is necessary to understand that the labour market can change quickly and the skills in shortage today may not be in shortage when you have completed your training and are ready to look for a job. Choosing to study or undertake training in an area in which you are interested and have strengths will provide the best advantage when you are looking for work.

Despite the recent slowing of the labour market, shortages persist in some occupations and locations; demand for skilled workers continues to strengthen in a number of occupations. To keep up to date with skill shortages and for more detailed information about shortages in your state or territory go to SkillsInfo.
