Could a career in Technology, be a game changer for you?
Australia’s technology sector needs so many more skilled workers that supply cannot currently keep up with the pace of demand.
The Future Skills Organisation’s Technology Workforce Plan reveals, that more than 25,000 workers are required in the next five years to work directly in the technology industry.
“VET has been an absolute game changer for me because it’s kickstarted my career. I now have a stable job in a career I want to be in, doing all the work that I want to be doing and absolutely loving it. I was 15 when I started and I was hired by my employer at 16 years old - that doesn’t normally happen.” - Kai Baharthah-King, 2023 Western Australia Vocational Student of the Year.
As technologies are rapidly evolving, a worker’s skills can quickly become outdated if they do not have work experience. Traineeships, such as those offered by group training organisation MEGT, can help students combine work with their vocational study.
