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

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

Skill shortages are set to remain a feature of the labour market place, the report concludes, due to the strength of the economic climate and the ageing workforce. STB chairman Keith Spence stated the demand would be met by means of a mixture of common population development, skilled immigration from interstate and overseas, and the development of neighborhood coaching initiatives.

Amongst the leading performing occupations, in terms of projected annual average employment growth between 2006 and 2016, are intermediate mining and construction workers, plumbers, structural construction tradespersons, and mining, construction and associated labourers. Demand for jobs in the mining and construction sectors is quite high and a downturn is viewed as unlikely.

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

Financial projections modelled by the report indicate there is unlikely to be a boom-bust scenario in the brief to medium phrase. This reflects the resource-driven construction boom, which is underpinned by strong development in demand from China and record commodity rates, especially for the state's principal export, iron ore.

Skilled occupations currently make up practically 60 per cent of the workforce and the report forecasts that overall demand for greater expertise in Western Australia is most likely to stay continuous as a proportion of the economic climate. Other skilled occupations in demand incorporate managers, administrators, pros, associate specialists, tradespersons and connected clerical, sales, transport and production workers. facebook developers
