Felix Ellis, Minister for Skills and Jobs
An enhanced online resource to help Tasmanians get the right people with the right skills in the right places is now available.
Minister for Skills and Jobs, Felix Ellis, said the updated Tasmanian Regional Employment Projections Dashboard would help businesses, industries and training providers make informed decisions about future workforce needs.
“Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future, our Government is working to deliver the skilled workforce that our State needs for the future, and having access to quality workforce data is a crucial component of that,” Minister Ellis said.
“By showing where jobs are projected to grow and the skills those roles will require, the dashboard helps employers stay ahead of workforce trends and prepare for future opportunities.
“We’re building an even better Tasmania by making workforce data more accessible and useful.”
The updated dashboard contains detailed projections by region, industry and occupation, and links occupations to education and training options, making it easier for users to identify qualifications relevant to their career or workforce needs.
Minister Ellis said with the State expecting more than 33,000 job openings by 2028, there were plenty of opportunities for those entering the workforce or considering a career change.
“Tasmania’s economy is expected to grow by more than 5,800 jobs by 2028, and when coupled with retirements and departures, that’s more than 33,000 job openings,” Minister Ellis said.
“The future is looking bright for those wanting a job in mining, with 413 openings forecast across the North West and West Coast alone.
“For those looking to build a career caring for our most vulnerable, Northern Tasmania is expected to offer 419 job opportunities for aged and disabled carers.
“As the Macquarie Point Stadium project ramps up, there will be significant opportunities in construction, with 1,278 job openings forecast across Hobart and Southern Tasmania.
“Whether you’re a young person considering your career options, or someone looking for a career change, this dashboard provides another tool to support informed decision-making.”
The projections were developed with input from the Tasmanian Department of Treasury and Finance and incorporates updated economic forecasts and information on major infrastructure projects.
The dashboard is available through the Skills Tasmania website at:
