Join The Trade Boom

Are you considering a career shift in 2024? Wanting to diversify your skillset and expand your qualifications?

Here are the trades set to boom in 2024!

Green Energy

Turning away from environmentally unsustainable practices, the clean energy sector will see unprecedented increase, with skilled workers flocking to be active in eco-friendly practices and become more sustainable.

Such positions in green energy set to see an increase in demand are solar panel installers, wind turbine technicians and electrical engineers, who are able to service and install green energy components.

Construction

Construction, particularly the computer design aspects of construction, are set to boom in popularity. Particularly with the integration of automated computer software and artificial intelligence, individuals educated and able to navigate this ever-evolving technical landscape will be in high demand.

Construction will also be highly demanded, due to the increase of home ownership aspirations, and Australian government incentives to purchase land and home packages to ease housing concerns.

Plumbers, Electricians, and Welders

Highly interconnected with construction, trades of electricians, plumbers and welders will experience unprecedented growth, in part to the increase of construction projects. Installing and servicing all systems from general electrical wiring to install and service of solar panels, with plumbers tending to expand their trade offer to include septic tanks, hot water systems and water filters, the roles of these trades have dramatically expanded.
