HIA calls for the next ACT Government to:
- Invest in the promotion of home building as a viable career
- Incentivise young people to relocate to the ACT
- Fund pre-apprenticeship job ready programs
Residential building and development presents diverse and lucrative work opportunities, especially for those who succeed in obtaining key skills, qualifications and advanced education in the wide range of careers available.
The residential building industry provides opportunities that can begin with a trade apprenticeship and progress to establishing a business, or undertaking tertiary education in professional fields such as planning, certification, project management or design.
To meet the present and future housing needs of the capital, the ACT government must better promote the opportunity and the importance of taking up a career in this industry, so that more young people choose home building see the value.
There needs to be less pressure on young people to attend university as a first choice following secondary school and greater acknowledgement of the real and rewarding careers that existing through vocational education and apprenticeships.
- Invest in the promotion of home building as a viable career and business pathway for young Canberrans.
- Incentivise young people to relocate to the ACT to continue or commence formal training in the construction sector.
- Fund pre-apprenticeship job ready programs, support mentoring of apprentices and incentivise employers to take on apprentices, particularly mature aged students.
