Construction Industry Forecasting Tool Goes Global
Australia and Canada sign agreement that will benefit both
Economies
Monday 5 February 2007
CANBERRA – Australia’s construction industry is going global by
working with its Canadian counterparts to share approaches on
predicting construction labour needs and addressing skilled trade
shortages. The move will benefit the Australian and Canadian
economies and has been welcomed by the Governments of both
countries.
“Innovative approaches to predicting labour requirements and
developing targeted labour market solutions will be shared with a
view to improving both industries,” said Peter Verwer, Chair of
Australia’s Construction Forecasting Council (CFC) www.cfc.acif.com.au.
“The ability to predict when and where 32 trades and occupations
will be available over the next nine years provides a world class
model” said Neil Marshall, Chairman of the Australian Construction
Industry Forum, which oversees the CFC. “We are also impressed
by the Canadian Construction Sector Council’s consultation
process with industry leaders from each sector and region of the
country, and with the research on labour market issues, such as
the future of mobile workers”.
