Australia is currently experiencing a skills gap in the science industry. There are many potential benefits to investing in scientific talent development: innovation, a boost in the economy, global investment and competitiveness.
To reduce this shortage of skilled workers, Australia needs to transform how skills are generated and deployed.
A disconnect has been observed between the current level of training provided in education sectors and the STEM industry’s future training needs. The Australian Industry Group reports that an estimated 75% of the fastest growing occupations require STEM skills and knowledge. Now, more than ever, it is important that entry-level workers develop generic and foundation skills, while existing workers focus on upskilling and continuing professional development.
At LTT our trainers deliver the right combination of skills and knowledge to ensure students are prepared for the workforce. If you’re interested in studying to become a laboratory technician or upskilling within your workplace lab, please get in touch with our team.
