Space Transport and Logistics - Skills Gap Analysis

The Australian space sector is poised for rapid growth by the end of this decade promising not only economic opportunities but also technological advancements. It is projected that the industry will create an additional 20,000 jobs with an industry value of $12 billion by 2030.  The key to industry growth is the availability of a reliable pipeline of skilled workers. One of the main strategies of the space sector is to identify workforce skills and training requirements to build their future workforce.

This project will focus particularly on the skills requirements for roles and skills associated with Space Transport and Logistics, and the capability of the vocational sector to deliver training.

The project aims to identify occupations, skills, and competencies essential for successful space logistics operations and the gap between existing and new training requirements. 

It will also assess existing training products to determine their alignment with industry workforce needs. The goal is to identify gaps in current training and explore the necessity for developing new or reviewing existing training products to meet the unique requirements of the Space Transport industry.
