The Spatial Industry

 

The Spatial Industry is growing faster than graduates can complete their studies.  All aspects of the industry have a shortage of skilled people.  In  fact, 70% of employers seeking recruits have long term job vacancies!

 

The work is dynamic and challenging, and the technology is leading edge.  You can  work outdoors in urban, rural or remote settings, or in an office. You have the choice of careers in both the private and government sectors, and in different work environments - working individually or in a team.

 

The Spatial Sciences are at the heart of  Australia’s expanding  development and can  provide a pathway to leadership positions in the future.

 

Whether you prefer to work outdoors or crave the comforts of an office, the spatial industry can accommodate you.  You will need a  reasonable level of ability in Mathematics, English and Physics.  However, it all  depends on the level of qualification you  choose to attain.  Courses range from  Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Degree and beyond.
