Building workforce capacity in Forestry
The demand for timber in Australia is projected to grow at roughly the same rate as the population. With the current population of 25.7*million expected to increase thirty-five million by 2040, that potentially means around a 36% increase in demand for Australian timber over the next two decades.
That demand naturally drives the need to continue to build workforce capacity and capability, and when it comes careers in forestry, there is a large and diverse range of opportunities in Gippsland.
