- Apprentices
Target 3000 apprentice commencements each year in residential construction. Incentivise attraction and retention as required through the next term of Government. - Skilled migrants
2025 – 3000 migrants skilled in construction offered State Nominated Migration places. Additional target of 3200 skilled migrants in construction attracted through employer sponsored visas over the next four years.
Home building presents diverse and lucrative work opportunities for all, and especially for those who succeed in obtaining key skills, qualifications and advanced education in the field.
Our industry provides opportunities that can begin with an apprenticeship and progress to expertise in various specialised fields, establishing a business, or using experience to secure advanced education in fields such as planning, certification, or design.
Our industry accommodates everyone, from office administrators and salespeople to lawyers and architects. We need to better promote opportunities within the residential construction sector so that more young Western Australian’s choose home building as their career for the future.
To compliment continued investment in our future, we need skilled workers with the capability to help now. The industry has embraced skilled migration and the ability to support the industries. Continued investment from the next Government to support the Construction Migration Office is key to maintaining the steps forward that have been taken over the last 18 months.
Policy support in the following areas will help to attract new people to the home building industry.
Policy initiatives
Maintaining the current rate of training apprenticesTarget 3000 apprentice commencements each year in residential construction and 9000 overall across the construction, mining and manufacturing industry. This should be done through incentives towards attraction and retention as required through the next term of Government.
Skilled migration - now and into the futureIn 2025 commit to 3000 migrants skilled in construction, being offered State Nominated Migration places. Also commit to an additional target of 3200 skilled migrants in construction attracted through employer sponsored visas over the next four years.
