A major union and industry group are calling for a specific migration pathway for electrical trades to plug a desperate shortfall of skilled workers needed in the transition to renewable energy.
NECA chief executive Oliver Judd said that to achieve Labor’s Powering Australia plan and electrifying the nation “there needs to be both targeted skilled migration and a significant increase in training services and facilities.” “The Albanese government will continue to assess and learn from the aged care industry labour agreement and seek to promote this approach where suitable,” Giles said.”Immigration isn’t a silver bullet – but it will play a vital role in addressing workforce shortages across the Australian economy.
“We believe these will be highly sought after jobs that will encourage experienced workers from around the world to consider becoming Australians,” he said. The Labor Party at its national conference in August resolved to create tripartite agreements between industry, unions and government for skilled migration where possible.
