Our region is growing fast. But while projects take shape, the big question remains: do we have the workforce to keep up?
Join us on 17 June as we unpack the critical skills needed across the construction and property development sector, identify the gaps, and highlight the opportunities ahead.
Hear Robert Sobyra from BuildSkills Australia provide the latest research, data, and expert insights on workforce demand and trends, skills shortages, and what industry and government can do to attract and retain talent.
Sarah Menniti from Construction Skills Queensland will share a local perspective on the construction pipeline, workforce challenges, and future projections for the building and engineering sectors.
Register now to gain the insights you need to support the future growth in Cairns.
