Gold Coast, Australia - Plenty Training has observed a notable increase in demand for qualified Trainers and Assessors across Australia, mirroring a national trend supported by government data.
The 2023–24 Skills Priority List from Jobs and Skills Australia identifies Vocational Education Teacher as a role currently in shortage in several states and territories, with a strong future demand forecasted. Qualified Trainers and Assessors are needed now more than ever, to play their part in addressing the critical ongoing skills shortage within Australia.
"We're seeing firsthand just how in need certain industries like energy, healthcare, mining, childcare and construction are of experienced professionals ready to train the next generation," said Maria Morton, CEO of Plenty Training. "Employers and RTOs are actively looking for professionals who not only bring industry experience but also hold the latest qualification, the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment," she said.
While many providers offer pathways to certification, Plenty Training notes that the experience of getting from A to B, study to certification, can vary dramatically.
"This is a nationally recognised qualification, but the level of support, flexibility and learning materials offered by training providers is far from standardised," Maria Morton said. "That's why we've built our course structure around personal support, flexible delivery options, and a clear path to success.
"Now is the ideal time for skilled professionals to consider sharing their expertise and making an impact as a qualified Trainer and Assessor," Ms. Morton added. "And with the right support, the TAE40122 Certificate IV is an achievable and rewarding next step."
