Electrotechnology training
The electrical services industry is one of the largest special construction industries in Australia. The digital age is creating an unprecedented demand for electricians specialising in telecommunications, instrumentation, information technology, and security and electronic control systems. There is high demand for qualified workers with over 50,000 job openings expected over the next five years according to the Australian Government's JobOutlook service.
The electrotechnology industry incorporates a range of smaller fields including electrical, electronic, instrumentation, and communication technologies.

Electrotechnology courses
My TAFE Queensland training was fantastic. Most of the teachers were qualified electricians, they had run their own businesses or worked for big companies, and they had a variety of experience to draw on whether it was domestic, commercial, or industrial.
One of the things that I find rewarding with TAFE Queensland is being able to still stay industry relevant and current. We also partner with industry to give our students practical tasks and feedback of equipment that they're going to come across out in the real world.
What I like most about working in my industry is it's challenging. I enjoy the challenge, but not only that it's very diverse. Even though you come out on the other side as an electrician, you can branch off into many different avenues, whether that be mining, instrumentation or refrigeration.

TAFE Queensland has invested more than $20 million in our electrotechnology training spaces. As a student you'll have access to high tech classrooms with specialised, industry- standard equipment including wiring bays, motor labs, winding machine rooms, a control circuits/relay logic lab, and more.
