Construction Workers needed in Victoria

Submitted by Mark on Wednesday, 16 April 2008One Comment

The State of Victoria needs 40,000 construction workersAccording to a survey undertaken by the Master Builders Association, the Australian State of Victoria needs 40,000 new construction workers in the next five years.

The MBA says skilled workers are needed in order to solve the skills shortage and it is the issue which is most affecting the sector’s progression.

This is obviously good news for folks skilled in the construction profession who are considering a permanent move to Australia.

MBA executive director Brian Welch said:

The MBA was established in 1875 and aims to improve standards in the industry.
