In this issue

The September holiday period offers a number of programs at various institutes – these programs are a wonderful way to experience life at the tertiary level, aspects of courses students may be considering or just having a different experience!

Remember… students who do best at TAFE or university are not necessarily those with the highest ATARs but those with persistence, determination, organisational and self-management skills, that are also assertive in asking for help.  Undertaking different experiences and trying something new is a huge part of developing those skills!  Now is the time to take that step!

Students that are engaged in learning communities and networks have a more positive experience both now and in the future.

Many students will be undertaking Work Experience these holidays – have fun and make the most of the time and people who have a wealth of knowledge to share, remember that any experience is well worth it, even if to only highlight what you do not want to pursue in the future, it helps to fine-tune decision-making and focus!

Finally, after a very busy and learning-packed term, I wish everyone a restful and safe holiday.

Interesting research report

Life at 24: Now and Then.  “Fewer young people are working in their career job at age twenty-four than ten years ago, with significantly higher rates of young people uncertain whether the job they have is the one they would like as a career.  This infographic uses data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) to provide a snapshot of how study, training and work have changed for Australians aged twenty-four in 2018 when compared with those of the same age in 2008”,  https://bit.ly/2lrdVUc

Three humanitarian STEM jobs making a major impact

When we think of humanitarian and social impact careers, we often think of legal aid, education and social work type of gigs.  Cassie Steel from Careers with STEM, has identified three science, technology and engineering jobs making a massive impact on others.
These include:

• Geographic Information Systems Analyst:  Experts in geographic information systems use their navigation, map making and data processing skills to assist when disasters, like earthquakes, floods and human conflicts, strike.  They create maps to assist in situ field workers access hard to reach places, as well as process geographic data to predict, prevent and improve response time for future scenarios.

• Agronomist:  Agronomists traditionally study plants, animals, soil and cultivation techniques to improve the productivity and sustainability of farms and agricultural industries, yet act as key specialists on food security when extreme climates or conflict hit.  The agricultural scientists reassess the use of effected farmlands in struggling environments, and offer solutions on reducing famine and maintaining a steady crop supply.

• Epidemiologist:  These guys spend their time focusing on diseases – how they are caused and spread, but also how they can be contained and prevented – in vulnerable communities.  Disaster relief teams rely on epidemiologists to investigate outbreaks (for examples: meningitis and cholera in an over populated refugee camp), which often involves managing large scale studies and mining massive data sets to support health campaigns and programs.

The following information has been written by Nathan Chanesman at ‘My Career Match’:

“Engineering is one of the most exciting and in demand careers for young people to choose.  Engineering is an occupation with extremely wide reach. The term ‘engineering’ covers many fields and, by extension, many skills.  Engineers are scientists, inventors, designers, builders and great thinkers.  They improve the state of the world, amplify human capability and make people’s lives safer and easier.”

As technology continues to develop, the need for engineers, and the reward of being an engineer, increases too.  Some of the most popular reasons to be become an engineer include:

Personal Happiness:  This is a career that will keep you happy by providing great financial security, diversity, flexibility, prestige, intellectual development, challenges and personal satisfaction.  The variety of ideas and finished projects keep the engineer’s job interesting.

Work with Smart People and Travel:  People who enjoy working with other people and travelling may become field service engineers.  Creative people who constantly have new ideas about everything may enjoy working as design engineers.  People who enjoy conducting experiments in laboratories.

Become an Entrepreneur:  Engineering also lends itself nicely to entrepreneurial types.  In fact, more engineers are CEOs of companies than any other undergraduate degree.  Usually this is because they invent something and then form a company to market and sell it.  Other engineers may form construction, environmental or consulting firms because their knowledge is in high demand.

Manage Companies:  Many engineers obtain higher degrees in business to become better managers and to receive a broader understanding of the inner workings of engineering companies.  Many graduates work for financial companies; they may write software programs or construct financial models.

Learn to Think:  One of the best reasons to choose engineering is because an engineering education teaches you how to think through a problem in order to solve it.  Engineering teaches all these mental agility skills and will help you solve problems for the rest of your life.  You access several different approaches to solve a problem and then it is up to you to show everyone how your solution meets the needs of the design.

Make a Difference:  Engineering is one of the most humanistic fields.  Engineering is about making life and the world a better place.  The more you expose yourself to the world of engineering, the more opportunities you may have and the better prepared you will be to meet the challenges ahead.

The future of VET study

Rosie Clarke is the managing editor at Multimedia Pty Ltd.  She recently published an excellent article about the future of VET (Vocational Education and Training).
Some of the key highlights of the article are:

• By 2023, Australia will need approximately one million more workers (5.36 million) with certificate two, three or four qualifications than it will those with bachelor degrees or higher (4.42 million). (Source: Department of Jobs and Small Business).
There are critical skills shortages in many sectors, ranging from infrastructure to health care, cybersecurity to tourism and defence.
Traineeship and apprenticeship numbers have fallen to a ten year low. The number of people starting traineeships and apprenticeships fell by 3.7 per cent in 2018.
The number of people completing a training course has fallen by 43.5 per cent compared to five years ago.
Among young people, there has generally been a low preference for the VET sector and consequently there is strong need for students to know more in order to understand what VET offers and to see it as a viable and beneficial study option leading to successful careers.

The following are examples of industries that are experiencing skill shortages:

• An aviation report recently released by Australian Industry Standards forecast 240,000 new commercial pilots will be required in the next twenty years to meet the growing demand of aviation travel which is forecast to double with the greatest demand being in our region the Asia Pacific region.  It also cites that the Sydney Western Airport due to open in 2026 will create another 28,000 jobs.
Airbus has announced it requires another 240,000 technicians and maintenance workers globally over the next fifteen years to just keep planes in the sky.

• Health Care and Social Assistance is the largest and fastest growing industry in Australia and is projected to have the strongest employment growth of any industry over the five years to May 2022, supported by the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Australia’s ageing population.
By the year 2060, Australians aged sixty-five and over will account for one quarter of the population, one in six Australians aged 75 or more, and the ‘very old’ (over 80 years of age) will also become more numerous.
Moreover, personal care workers (PCWs) are reportedly older than the average age of workers in other fields, further exacerbating these problems.

These statistics indicate that there will be increased demands on the residential aged care workforce in the future and associated labour shortages given the consequent increases in demand for personal care worker services.
The top five occupations in this industry are registered nurses, aged and disabled carers, child carers, nursing support and personal care workers and receptionists.

Health Workforce Australia estimates that there will be a shortage of over 100,000 nurses by 2025 while an additional 10,000 more jobs are needed in childcare.

• In tourism, 1.3 million Chinese visited Australia last year.  Tourists from the United States are also forecast to increase fifty-seven per cent over the next five years,”  Mr Wexham said.  Skills shortages in hospitality and tourism include chefs, hospitality staff, hotel porters, reception staff, tour operators, conferences and events.
