Unprecedented economic development in Western Australia implies that up to 17,800 added skilled workers will be desperately required each and every year for the subsequent ten years, according to a report launched nowadays by education and coaching minister Mark McGowan. Some of these skilled workers must come from Australia immigration.

The Beyond the Resources Boom study was commissioned by the State Coaching Board (STB), and examines Western Australia's financial development and the challenges faced by the state's workforce.

Ability shortages are set to stay a function of the labour industry, the report concludes, due to the strength of the economic climate and the ageing workforce. STB chairman Keith Spence mentioned the demand would be met by way of a mixture of general population development, skilled immigration from interstate and overseas, and the development of neighborhood education initiatives.

Among the top performing occupations, in terms of projected annual typical employment development between 2006 and 2016, are intermediate mining and construction workers, plumbers, structural construction tradespersons, and mining, construction and connected labourers. Demand for jobs in the mining and construction sectors is very higher and a downturn is considered unlikely.

Numerous of these occupations are on the Australia Skilled Occupation List and the Australia MODL (Migration Occupations in Demand List), which entitles people applying for Australian immigration to extra points.

Economic projections modelled by the report indicate there is unlikely to be a boom-bust scenario in the short to medium term. This reflects the resource-driven construction boom, which is underpinned by strong growth in demand from China and record commodity costs, specifically for the state's major export, iron ore.

Skilled occupations at the moment make up nearly 60 per cent of the workforce and the report forecasts that all round demand for higher expertise in Western Australia is likely to remain constant as a proportion of the economic climate. Other skilled occupations in demand include managers, administrators, specialists, associate professionals, tradespersons and related clerical, sales, transport and production workers. facebook developers
