AHSI is offering a number of Electrotechnology and Carpentry courses to meet the high industry demand. Australia needs more than 22,000 more carpenters to meet current demand, with the Housing Industry Association (HIA) estimating an overall need for 83,000 additional tradespeople to meet the National Housing Accord goals by 2029. Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) estimates Australia will require “two million workers in building and engineering trades by 2050 to prepare Australia’s energy grid and industrial base for net zero,” including 53,000 to 84,000 more electricians. Its Certificate III in Carpentry will prepare students for a profession in high demand in the construction industry.

Electrotechnology is a future-oriented industry, driven by rapid technological advancements and increasing reliance on electrical and electronic systems in various sectors. It offers diverse career paths and is experiencing strong growth, particularly in areas like renewable energy, automation, and smart technologies.

Carpentry is a highly sought-after domain due to high demand from construction and infrastructure projects, a shortage of skilled workers, and the national housing crisis. The Australian government has set ambitious government targets for new homes, making skilled carpenters valuable in various roles, from residential and commercial building to specialized heritage work.
