Anticipating Future Skills Series 5 – Testing and Validation Workshops

We’re thrilled to bring you an update on the fifth series of our flagship product, the Anticipating Future Skills Series (AFS). Series 5 has drawn on the experience and insight of more than 200 industry experts from 19 diverse industries to shape Queensland’s employment forecast for 2027-28. Through a committed engagement effort, ranging from dynamic 30 person meetings, to insightful one-on-one conversations, our collaborators generously donated over 250 hours, scrutinising our preliminary data and providing feedback.

Key takeaways include:

• The significant impact of current labour shortages.

• The diversity of employment opportunities in regional Queensland.

• The adoption of emerging technologies that is redefining job roles.

Armed with the knowledge we’ve collated, we are in the home stretch. We’d like to express our appreciation for every expert that has contributed. The breadth and depth of your knowledge and feedback has been instrumental in refining our employment projections to be a reliable compass for the future.
