Given the lock step relationship between VET and industry, knowing where employment markets are heading helps identify the needs and opportunities ahead.<\/p>\n
There are many sources of useful data, such as the Regional Australia Institute’s Human Capital Index<\/em> (see the overview<\/a> in the VDC News 2 May edition).<\/p>\n Another useful data source is Emsi<\/a>. You can download six separate reports<\/a> (one for each state, each of 12 pages) and treat yourself to some high level data about what’s happening around you, and what’s forecast out to 2020. As each report is presents the same data items for each state and capital city, you can compare the differences.<\/p>\n Taking Queensland as an example, the report suggests Brisbane can look forward to healthy jobs growth. The number of jobs in Brisbane in 2020 is expected to hit 829,350 – that’s 8 per cent higher than 2015, an increase of 60,041 jobs overall.<\/p>\n You can also get a more detailed read on particular occupations.

But if you were expecting mining to be way out front in employment terms, you’ll be disappointed. On the basis of number of jobs, mining is expected to be the fourth largest industry in 2020 with 40,222 jobs – a fall from 45,468 in 2015.
