The mining sector is experiencing another negative issue other than the labour shortage. This challenge is the reduction in the number of young people completing apprenticeships. Also, the industry is competing to gain IT staff.
Another field in Australia that is in dire need of more skilled staff is the tech industry. To secure staff, some companies pay between $147,000 and $350,000 for graduates. These companies include Google, Canva, Amazon, etc. Some of these salaries also feature end-of-year bonuses and stock options, said a representative of Australia Immigration Professionals.
