Austroads has published the first half-year update to the Australia and New Zealand Roads Capability Analysis Update Report March 2024 and related data dashboards.
Last year Austroads published the fifth update to the Austroads' Workforce Capability Analysis. Austroads' Workforce Capability Analysis has been routinely updated and published by Austroads with the support of Oxford Economics for the past 18 years.
Geoff Allan, Austroads Chief Executive said that with rapid changes to the employment market, Austroads decided to provide half-yearly updates to the data rather than waiting for updates every few years.
"The analysis estimates the skills and capabilities required by Australian and New Zealand roads and transport agencies to continue delivering their service objectives. The report identifies potential and emerging workforce capability gaps and provides agencies and related stakeholders with potential solutions to meet these gaps through future development, national training and capability initiatives."
"The insights and solutions contained in the capability analysis provide a clear picture of the realities of the industry, as well as a clear plan on how to address these skills and capability gaps in the workforce."
The data dashboards provide additional functionality, allowing users to focus on specific skills and occupation profiles in New Zealand and each Australian state and territory," Geoff said.
