Shortages of skilled labour have been an enduring constraint on the Australian automotive industry for more than a decade. There was an estimated shortage of 31,143 skilled personnel across the automotive industry in 2021. This shortage is forecast to grow.
For most businesses, the ability to source appropriately skilled workers translates into greater productivity which enables the completion of work within shorter time frames, leading to improved levels of customer satisfaction and repeat business.
If you are interested in working as a light vehicle mechanic, automotive spray painter, motorbike technician, panel beater or car sales person and many more, please contact your local state or territory Association or Automobile Chamber of Commerce or training body.
