Developers must continuously train and upskill their staff to make the most of emerging techniques and technologies across the utility sector.
Australia’s workforce is of one its greatest assets and the key to unlocking the development of new critical infrastructure. But the increasing pressures of the growing population, straining economy and new technologies mean that this workforce must adapt in an increasingly difficult environment.
Utilities and their contractors face unprecedented challenges as they strive to hire new employees with the right skills as the current workforce approaches retirement. One of the biggest challenges facing the modern sector is an ageing workforce and insufficient training.
Hiring new people with fresh degrees isn’t the only answer. Opportunity lies in building on workers’ many years of experience with focused training in new technologies and digital operations. Upskilling not only helps workers find new ways to participate in a changing sector, it also delivers more job security and leads to better job performance.
