Why building your skills is SO important

Being skilled and trained for your future career is a must! And South Australia needs skilled workers to support growing industries.

Did you know that over the next few years, more than half of the predicted top 50 careers with highest growth will need technical skills, like the ones you can gain through an apprenticeship, traineeship or VET.

VET can lead you to future careers and real opportunities, helping you to develop your ability in areas of future demand like space, defence, energy, cyber, hi-tech, construction and health care.
