Construction Industry Forecasting Tool Goes GlobalAustralia and Canada sign agreement that will benefit both

EconomiesMonday 5 February 2007

CANBERRA – Australia’s construction industry is going global by working with its Canadian counterparts to share approaches on predicting construction labour needs and addressing skilled trade shortages. The move will benefit the Australian and Canadian economies and has been welcomed by the Governments of both countries.“Innovative approaches to predicting labour requirements and developing targeted labour market solutions will be shared with a view to improving both industries,” said Peter Verwer, Chair of Australia’s Construction Forecasting Council (CFC) - www.cfc.acif.com.au.“The ability to predict when and where 32 trades and occupations will be available over the next nine years provides a world class model” said Neil Marshall, Chairman of the Australian Construction Industry Forum, which oversees the CFC. “We are also impressed by the Canadian Construction Sector Council’s consultation process with industry leaders from each sector and region of the country, and with the research on labour market issues, such as the future of mobile workers”.
