About this episode
Geoff Clare discusses the skills shortage in Queensland's construction industry and a new training plan to address it.
Queensland’s construction industry is set to boom, but there aren’t enough skilled workers to keep up. A shortfall of 50,000 tradespeople is expected by 2026–27, putting big projects at risk. CSQ CEO Geoff Clare joins us to talk about what’s behind the skills shortage and how their new $60 million training plan could open doors for people looking to get into the industry.
