Students should train in an area that they have an interest in
• Labour market conditions change quickly.
• It is hard to know what graduates will face in terms of demand in the future, but good candidates are always highly sought after by employers.
• It is better to look for training and employment in an occupation in which one is interested and has an aptitude.
Understanding labour market data
Why look at labour market data?
To gain an understanding of:
• Prevailing labour market conditions
• The industries and occupations which have the strongest/weakest
employment growth
– e.g. Health Care and Social Assistance growing strongly, – Manufacturing, mining declining
• Characteristics of the workforce
– e.g. earnings, working hours, gender split, age profiles
Where you can access labour market data • Labour Market Information Portal (LMIP) – lmip.gov.au
