Integrating Training with Real-World Experience
While Australia is experiencing a well-documented shortage of skilled tradespeople, young people are finding it increasingly challenging to secure apprenticeships and entry-level opportunities
According to the Hiring Lab April 2025 report, apprenticeship commencements surged during 2022–2023 but have now dropped to pre-pandemic levels. Despite labour shortages in key trades,
many employers are reluctant to take on new apprentices due to costs, lack of time for supervision, or concerns about productivity. At the same time, cultural trends and education policy have pushed
more young Australians toward tertiary pathways rather than vocational ones, shrinking the potential apprenticeship pool.
