Why Demand for Carpenters Remains Strong
Australia is still experiencing shortages of workers in a number of construction trades, including carpentry. Continued housing and infrastructure activity can also increase demand for qualified tradespeople, although employment conditions can vary by region, employer needs and overall construction activity.
Jobs and Skills Australia has identified a national shortage pressure in construction trades. This may help explain why courses in carpentry are still in demand from home and international students.
Visa and migration eligibility depends on individual circumstances and rules in place at the time of application. If you are a student seeking advice on migration you should contact the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration agent.
