The Covid-19 pandemic saw many Australians reevaluate their jobs and begin searching for a change.<\/p>\n<p>As a specialist recruitment agency we witnessed first-hand the changes in the employment landscape during 2020 and 2021. However, with the country opening up and the resilience of Australians on display, many opportunities are available for those wishing to find a new job. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trsresourcing.com\/about-us\">TRS Recruitment Consultants<\/a> have industry insight and access to job openings across the country to help those seeking a job find the right role.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, we&#8217;ll explore the areas experiencing the highest demand right now, and which jobs are particularly in demand. Unsurprisingly, the areas that have seen growing demand despite the economic impacts of Covid-19 are focussed around health and care, education, and technology. The sectors hit hardest by the pandemic &#8211; such as the arts, hospitality, and tourism &#8211; are still in a turbulent recovery process.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\">Industries in Demand<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>According to the Australian Government&#8217;s future outlook for jobs, the areas with most demand will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Health Care and Social Assistance<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Professional, Scientific and Technical Services<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Education and Training<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Construction<\/b>\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"image-float-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16209 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/606f8bca-31c9-42d5-9caf-56312833f0b7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/606f8bca-31c9-42d5-9caf-56312833f0b7.png 555w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/606f8bca-31c9-42d5-9caf-56312833f0b7-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/606f8bca-31c9-42d5-9caf-56312833f0b7-150x102.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>A job in the health and care industry is in high demand right now, with many opportunities opening up across hospitals, aged care facilities, and private clinics. This is due to the ageing population in Australia and the increased demand for health services. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has predicted that the number of people aged 65 years and over will double by 2056.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, there is high demand for teachers across primary and secondary schools, as well as TAFE and university lecturers. The Australian government has forecast a need for an extra million students by 2025, and with the school-age population estimated to grow over the next decade, the demand for teachers is only going to increase.<\/p>\n<p>The technology sector is also booming, with many companies searching for tech-savvy employees to help them keep up with the latest trends. The rise of remote working and online shopping has seen a need for employees who are comfortable working with computers and have experience in eCommerce and digital marketing.<\/p>\n<h3>\u200b<\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\">Healthcare and Social Assistance<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"image-float-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16208 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-2.49.21-pm.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"743\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-2.49.21-pm.png 743w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-2.49.21-pm-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-2.49.21-pm-150x77.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n<p>The healthcare industry in Australia is one of the most in-demand sectors right now. There is a large shortfall when it comes to nurses, midwives, doctors and other healthcare professionals, who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to care for others.<\/p>\n<p>Nurses have a unique role with many opportunities in Australia because they can work in a range of settings from hospitals, aged care facilities to general practices. And if you would rather not work in a clinical environment there are still plenty of jobs available in healthcare support roles such as clerical work, administration and management.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\">Construction Workers, Tradespeople and Skilled Labourers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The construction industry is one of the biggest employers in Australia. Every year countless new building projects begin including commercial developments, new homes, apartments and factories. The industry produces around 9% of Australia&#8217;s GDP and employs over a million workers.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of demand for labourers and tradespeople such as bricklayers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters and many more. In addition, there are also many opportunities for people with good organisational skills who can manage a team effectively under deadline pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the skilled trades that we regularly employ at TRS include:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image-float-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16207 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/37b52240-93ec-4d94-beb0-1e16e8109f8d.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/37b52240-93ec-4d94-beb0-1e16e8109f8d.png 624w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/37b52240-93ec-4d94-beb0-1e16e8109f8d-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/37b52240-93ec-4d94-beb0-1e16e8109f8d-150x78.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Forklift operators<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Boilermakers Welders<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Auto Electricians <\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Trades Assistants<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Industrial Spray Painters &amp; Painter Blasters<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Sheet Metal Workers<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Machinists<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Fibreglass Laminators<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Steel Fabrication workers<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Assemblers<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Install and Repair workers<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\"><b>Electrical &amp; Mechanical Service Technicians<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\">Education and Training<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The education sector is also seeing a high demand for new employees.

Secondary school teachers make an average salary of $1,914 a week according to the Government&#8217;s Job Outlook website.<\/p>\n<p>Vocational Education Teachers are also in demand, with moderate growth predicted over the next five years. Adult education, such as TAFE, plays a crucial role in many occupations such as those in the beauty industry or those in trades. Teachers earn around $1,790 a week, and there are currently 34,600 workers in the sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n<h3>\u200b\u200b<span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\">Professional, Scientific and Technical Services<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"image-float-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16206 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/265153c2-cfac-41d0-8fff-ac350e6555dc.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/265153c2-cfac-41d0-8fff-ac350e6555dc.png 498w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/265153c2-cfac-41d0-8fff-ac350e6555dc-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn-01.cms-ap-v2i.applyflow.com\/trs-resourcing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/265153c2-cfac-41d0-8fff-ac350e6555dc-150x80.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n<p>There are abundant opportunities if you have the right qualifications in software design and development, but there are also many opportunities in supporting roles such as project management or hardware repair.<\/p>\n<p>These roles are not limited to tech companies &#8211; businesses are increasingly investing in skilled data professionals to join their marketing, research and finance teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<h3>\u200b<\/h3>\n<h3>\u200b<\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0e76bf;\">Most-Needed Jobs in Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that Healthcare roles are in such high demand in the wake of Covid-19.
