Vocational Education and Training courses offer avenues to increase your employment opportunities.
A survey from almost 250,000 Vocational Education and Training (VET) students confirm the benefits of vocational training, particularly in the construction industry.
Construction Graduates achieved better full-time employment results than the average graduate in other fields (77.8% of Construction Graduates were employed after training, compared with 68.6% for other graduates). More likely to be employed, they also command higher full-time starting salaries ($60,900 versus $60,000). You can increase your pay and your potential for full-time employment.
The higher level of qualification achieved, the more you will earn. Graduates of the Diploma of Building and Construction earn the highest post-qualification starting wages ($79,200). Next is graduates with Certificate IV in Building and Construction ($75,000) and Certificate III in Waterproofing ($74,700).
Students with Certificate III in Carpentry, Painting and Waterproofing earn higher starting wages than other graduates of the same level.
VET qualifications teach you the practical skills required to advance your career. The Construction Industry is one of NSW’s largest full-time employers. Skilled employers add value to a company’s business and reputation. Most construction businesses support their employees in updating their skills and qualifications. They know the long term benefits to their businesses.
Post-pandemic economic recovery is important. Addressing the skills shortage is a nationwide priority. You can join the recovery, play your part and reap the benefits.
