In May, a group led by Australias Chief Scientist Alan Finkel forecasted severe impacts for our research workforce. These included the loss of the equivalent of up to 21,000 full-time jobs in universities this year, including around 7,000 related to research. #australianengineers #australianengineeringjobs #STEM #COVID19

22.01.2022 On International Women in Engineering Day, Australian Engineers & Technical Tradies is proud to feature this exclusive opinion piece by Dr Bianca Capra & Dr Beena Ahmed of UNSW Engineering. Women are an important part of Australia's engineering industry, however did you know that: ~ In Australia in 2020, less than 13% of degree qualified engineers are female?... ~ Almost half of female engineers quit the profession or never even enter the field? ~ One in four female engineers leave after age 30, compared to only one in 10 male engineers? Drs. Capra and Beena write: "As engineers, we must look at our profession and ask ourselves why young girls and women continue to remain disengaged with engineering. As members of society, we need to challenge the ongoing stereotypes of engineers and do a better job of showing, supporting and promoting diversity in engineering." #womeninstem #shapetheworld #womeninengineering #genderequality #internationalwomeninengineeringday #australianengineering #engineeringthefuture #inwed UNSW Canberra

15.01.2022 The issue of gender equality is often dismissed by many as 'PC rubbish'. This opinion piece has been written exclusively for Australian Engineers, by a father of 2 girls who is worried about the attitudes that females still face in male dominated environments. He discusses why equality is a good thing and important to ensuring a prosperous future for the Australian engineering and technical trades industries. "Gender equality is not about taking away your manhood. Gender equ...ality is about everyone, despite their gender being treated the same and with respect. Being inclusive does not make you less of a man, it just makes you a decent person." #genderequality #womenintrades #womeninengineering #womeninstem #ladytradies #australiaengineers #technicaltradies #discrimination #bullying #workplace

04.01.2022 Is the PM reading our opinion pieces? Last month,we featured an opinion piece written by James Walsh, Director of Employment Consulting firm Martin Walsh Group, titled "JobMaker needs to be SkillsMaker to recover from COVID-19". https://australianengineers.com.au//job-maker-needs-to-be/. Walsh expressed concerns that without suitably qualified talent, that it readily available to fill the jobs made by the Governments JobMaker package, we wouldnt be in any better position ...than we are now, as we would still have to look offshore for the skills we required, and in essence, that is detrimental to the cause of developing our own sovereign industry. Maybe the Prime Minister read this opinion piece, as this morning he announced that his Government will invest $2 billion in a JobTrainer skills package to support technical training and upskilling, as well as subsidise apprentice wages. It may not be called SkillsMaker, but JobTrainer is a very welcomed initiative for the technical trades industries. #covid19 #australiantradies #australianindustry #engineeringthefuture #australiangovernment #jobtrainer #jameswalsh

03.01.2022 Chief Scientist: women in STEM are still far short of workplace equity. COVID-19 risks undoing even these modest gains. A recent report by the Rapid Research Information Forum found the pandemic has left women facing disproportionate increases in caring responsibilities and disruptions to working hours and job security. The hard-won gains made by women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) are at risk, especially if employers of people with STEM skills do not c...losely monitor and mitigate the gender impact of their decisions. #womeninstem #womeninengineering #genderequality #australianengineering #australianengineers #engineeringthefuture
