Jobs to Ride the Ups and Downs
When you’re choosing what you want to do with the rest of your life, it’s important to take certain things into account. You want job security, personal growth and high employment rates to ensure you’re protected through any future recessions. In this article, TAFE Gippsland is discussing the top jobs that you can start studying towards now.
Registered Nurses
It’s safe to say that there will never be a world in which we don’t need nurses. The current older generation has placed strain on the nursing industry, increasing the demand for nurses. People value their wellbeing and they will invest in services that reduce pain and improve their quality of life.
By completing a Diploma of Nursing, you can stay ahead of the technological advances in the field and pursue a career with excellent job security and benefits.
Plumbers
Everyone everywhere will always need plumbers. Good plumbers can easily find employment, and this is one job that will never be outsourced. More and more people are realising what plumbers do for society, increasing the level of respect for workers in this field. There are also free TAFE courses available in plumbing due to the high demand for specialists in the industry.
At TAFE Gippsland, we have multiple study pathways for plumbers, including:
- Certificate II in Plumbing (Pre-Apprenticeship)
- Certificate III in Plumbing (Apprenticeship)
- Certificate IV in Plumbing and Services
Social Services Managers
A social services manager is responsible for overseeing a social services department for the government or a private medical facility. They provide services to aid healing processes and improve the standard of living for their clients. This field is expected to grow substantially over the next five years, with many jobs being created or opening due to other workers leaving.
The need for social services managers continues to grow due to the focus our modern society is placing on quality of life for all. Skilled workers are needed to find solutions to problems and offer support to people who truly need it. Free TAFE courses are available to those who choose to study a Certificate IV in Community Services.
Health Educators
As the health sector grows and introduces new technology, professionals in this industry require assistance from health educators. Studying a Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance will give you a solid understanding of allied health programs, basic medical terminology, infection prevention and control policies. In this way, you can become a valuable resource for other health professionals.
