The Jobs and Skills Outlook is an annual release of State Government modelling with a focus on current and emerging skills needs that may be supported through post-school education and training, or overseas and interstate migration.
It is one way of informing South Australians about the State’s future workforce and skills needs, and supports a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy.

Approach
The Jobs and Skills Outlook provides projections on the demand for new qualifications between 2024 and 2028 in South Australia.
These projections are underpinned by State Government modelling that is updated annually.
The modelling considers a range of factors including employment growth, the need to replace workers leaving the labour force or changing occupations and the need for workers to upskill or broaden their skill set.
For the purposes of the Jobs and Skills Outlook the VET sector is considered to include Certificate I, Certificate II, Certificate III, Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma qualifications. Higher education includes Bachelor and Postgraduate qualifications.
The State Government’s approach to workforce planning includes direct engagement with industry and government agencies to identify and validate workforce demand.
