Have your say

Artibus Innovation is currently working on industry skills forecasts for the construction and property industries. These forecasts will be used to guide and prioritise our work to review and develop national training packages. We’d like your input.

What are the challenges and opportunities for industry? Are there technological, regulatory, environmental or other changes that need to be addressed? What new skills and knowledge will workers need over the next few years? Are there any current or anticipated gaps in training?

To have your say on these and other questions, click on a survey link below.

It will take about ten minutes of your time, and your answers can be anonymous. You can also upload or provide links to any relevant reports or resources via email: research@artibus.com.au.
