Hi, i am new to the forums here and I am looking for information in relation to what the job market and demand for workers looks like in the coming years in the construction industry.
I am a uk/Irish citizen and I'm currently making a career change, I'm studying a Foundation Degree in Architectural Technology but have the option of completing a Bachelor Degree with a further 2 years study in Architectural Technology or alternatively Building Surveying and then my aim is to complete masters study in BIM with Management or Construction Project Management. Then I would be looking at gaining a few years experience in my chosen role.
I'm lucky in that I'm still early enough on in my studies that I have various options open to me and so can tailor my skills in a way which would help me be more employable in Australia.
My main reason for posting is to get an idea of where the industry is heading and what skills and experience may be in demand.
I have previously completed a working holiday in Australia and my long term goal is to emigrate, hopefully within the next 10 years. I know in 10 years a lot will change and no one can predict the future but I think having a direction to steer in will help.
Thanks in advance for any help and comments.
