While our industry is facing challenges, our team at BUSY are embracing these changes.
Since the changes to the existing workers funding took place, BUSY has continued to build business. Through our promotion of traditional trades we have seen a significant increase in new apprenticeships and traineeships for electrical and traditional construction trades. At BUSY we take great pride in consistently providing an experienced team of field and service delivery staff, who have a full understanding of the needs of employers, RTO’s and other key stakeholders.
It is through our understanding of stakeholder needs that we have chosen to explore further options in providing alternative access to information and resources for the training and employment sector.
We are excited to introduce the new innovative free iPhone app, Career Hunter. BUSY is very proud to promote and provide a unique career exploration resource to the training industry.
Career Hunter is a quick reference point for students, parents and teachers wishing to explore employment opportunities and pathways. It is one of the most intuitive and innovative apps as well as being the first career exploration tool of its kind on the market. The app covers 19 major industries. Career Hunter collates information on various occupations including job descriptions, industry profiles, top jobs and skill shortages, average wages, training requirements and locations plus available jobs which you can access anywhere, anytime.
One of the greatest challenges in this industry is to give clear and simple information to school leavers, and this is what Career Hunter achieves. The app provides alternative career paths for you to share with your students and we encourage you to download it from the App Store and become familiar with this valuable and easy to use resource.
