SKILLS NEEDED IN THE WORKFORCE

Engineering

An Action Plan was developed by the Engineering Industry Task Force as part of their Report, Engineering Skills Shortages, in June 2001.  The report identified barriers to skills development and strategies aimed at building a training culture.

In addition to identifying shortages in a range of Engineering occupations, the Engineering Skills Shortages Report identified the need for specific studies in the Aerospace and Marine industries. 

A careers website (www.zoom.aigroup.asn.au) and CD-ROM have been developed promoting the Engineering industry.
