CSQ launches Jobs Board to help construction industry meet workforce needs
The new Construction Skills Queensland (CSQ) online Jobs Board aims to assist career seekers and employers in the Queensland building and construction industry as part of its drive to meet the needs of the fast-developing coal seam gas and support industries.
The Jobs Board will fast track new entrants into the building and construction industry and provide employers with a vital tool to source additional staff. Initiatives such as the Jobs Board are becoming increasingly important, a CSQ spokesman said, given the workforce demands posed by the emerging coal seam gas to liquefied natural gas (CSG/LNG) industry.
Jobs Board is available free of charge to building and construction industry employers, allowing them to post job vacancies directly to the CSQ website. While job seekers will able to search job opportunities by trade, qualification and region to pinpoint their preferred role.
Construction Skills Queensland CEO Brett Schimming said the Jobs Board will help the building and construction industry quickly find staff and further develop a skilled workforce.
"Last December CSQ released a Workforce Plan for the construction phase of the CSG/LNG industry which predicted that, based on four LNG trains, over 9000 workers would be required to construct planned projects," Mr Schimming said.
"The Jobs Board is an initiative of CSQ's Workforce Planning Program to help industry meet this skills demand."
The Jobs Board is part of a new CSQ website which provides a central hub for Queensland's construction industry to find news and information about training, upskilling and funding.
The new website will help keep people informed of key developments in the CSG/LNG industry and other areas of construction, providing the latest industry news and a list of upcoming industry events.
In addition, research and insights are available on the new website, including CSQ's industry dashboard which highlights key training and employment trends in the industry, assisting employers with workforce planning.
