FEATURED REPORTS

Finding your way in a changing world of work

"Australian jobs are changing as new technologies are introduced, businesses find new ways of working, and as we respond to challenges like COVID-19. This will lead to new jobs being created, and new skills may be needed for existing jobs."

"How can you find your way in a changing world of work? When you’re thinking about work and study options, it can be helpful to understand:

• the jobs available now and in the future
• the skills needed for jobs that interest you
• your interests and how you like to work

"Skills are the language of the workplace. Many people don’t realise that the skills they’ve built in one job can be useful in many other jobs and industries. Since most people will move between a number of different jobs in their lifetime, it’s important to understand how your skills can transfer from one job to another."

Visit the Future Outlook Information on the Job Outlook website for more detailed information and guidance.
