ToowoombaThe Future of Jobs

The Future of Jobs – Toowoomba Forum included a morning of presentations from Major Project representatives about predictions for the makeup of the workforce that will be needed, for Toowoomba in the future. It covered the skills required, and the likely timeframes for these skills. Then after lunch we workshopped how the presentations will influence changes to current training and education approach for Toowoomba. The aims of the forum were to share project plans and identify the skills needed and plan to prepare the Toowoomba workforce for the foreseeable future.

We identified the work that needs to be done at the education and training level, to ensure there are a pool of qualified/skilled applicants to choose from when the time comes for employers to recruit over the next decade.
