Future proof your career: the top five growing industries

Jumpstarting or accelerating your career isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. 

Whether you’re seeking an empowering role or a career that keeps you motivated, WA’s diverse business landscape offers a wealth of opportunities across various industries and sectors. 

Not sure where to begin? We’ve pinpointed some in-demand career paths that can open doors to rewarding opportunities through apprenticeships and traineeships. 

Top 5 Industries are:

Construction

As one of Australia’s largest industries,  the construction sector plays a vital role in our everyday lives, from the homes we live in to the schools and community amenities we use. Apprenticeships and traineeships are great ways to help you make your mark in this dynamic industry, with financial support available upon successful completion of your training. 

Clean Energy 

What’s more exciting than embarking on a career stream that contributes to a net zero future? The clean energy sector offers a plethora of career options, from mechanics to electricians, engineers and draftpersons. Australian apprentices who are working in the sector or training towards a clean energy occupation on the Priority List can access up to $10,000 in support payments. 

Electricians 

An electrical career is a highly technical role with excellent growth prospects. Additionally, you’ll play a crucial role in advancing our transition to green energy as a qualified and skilled electrician.

Early Childhood Education and care 

WA has a high demand for early childhood education professionals. By becoming an educator, you can positively impact and shape the lives of young learners.  

Healthcare and social assistance 

Given Australia’s ageing population, the need for aged and healthcare specialists is constantly growing. Working in the health service industry provides great job satisfaction while offering clients meaningful support to improve their quality of life.
