Historical Employment Growth

• Over the last decade, employment in the industry has shown growth with an average annual growth rate of 2.3 per cent.

• Employment experienced a decline in 2010 which in part is attributable to the outbreak of the Global Financial Crisis.

Employment variability

• While long term job growth in the industry has been strong, annual employment changes have historically been variable.

• The industry is highly cyclical and activity in the wider economy translates to the industry as movements in both raw materials and consumer goods contract or expand.

Projected Employment Growth

• Employment declined by 6.8% in 2010 (partly attributable to the GFC)

• Over the period 2010-15 employment is projected to grow at 2.2% (DEEWR forecast 2.3%) which is comparatively stronger to an all industries projection of 1.8%.

• Forecast employment growth (2010-15) will equate to around 67,000 new jobs)

There are several workforce development challenges facing the Transport and Logistics Industry.

Page 10: © Workforce Planning Australia -  The Hume Workforce Development Committee Hume Regional Development Australia Transport &

Workforce Development Challenges

Diversity

― The industry is characterised by immense diversity in occupations, workforce development needs, business types and sizes, and locations.

Growth

― The industry is expected to show strong growth over the next 20 years, challenging its capacity to attract, retain and develop workers.

Workforce Demographics

― The industry is faced with an ageing workforce. The latest figures released by DEEWR show that nearly half of all workers in the industry are aged 45 years and over, compared with the average of 38.5% for all industries.

New and Emerging technologies

― Technological developments call for higher-order skills in the workforce. Adaptability will be particularly important, as workers will need to cope with an industry that is constantly changing.

Page 11: © Workforce Planning Australia -  The Hume Workforce Development Committee Hume Regional Development Australia Transport &

Workforce Development Challenges

A Cleaner Environment

― New ‘green’ jobs will emerge over time as a result of a low-carbon economy and advances in fuel sources and infrastructure. Many of these roles will require investment in training at a workforce level to ensure employees are appropriately skilled.

Competition for workers

― Competition from the resources industry is a challenge for the Industry. Many transport and logistics skills are easily transferable. Workers are being drawn away by higher-paid jobs in resources. Competition is expected to intensify with feedback from industry suggesting that skills shortages across sectors are likely to increase.

Regulatory Reform

― Industry has found it difficult to keep up with regulatory requirements accross jurisdictions. Reforms are underway across the various sectors to reduce the compliance burden carried by industry. The workforce skill set needs to be able to respond quickly to address the impact of reforms.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) Reforms

― Several VET reforms are underway, focused on a renewed role for industry and new funding models that aim to leverage industry investment in workforce development.

General description of the Transport system in Hume

14 |

• The transport system is vital to the economy and viability of industries in the Hume Region.

• Drivers of growth of the Hume Transport system over the next 25 years include:

― Population Growth: The population of the four Hume sub regions is expected to grow from 300,000 to 400,000 people.

― Increased freight movement: Movement will increase to a projected 58 million tonnes annually, with the Hume Freeway freight task projected to grow by 50% over the next 20 years.

― Increased visitor numbers: Visitors to the region are projected to rise well above the current 2.5 million that come to the region each year.

• The road system network (shown in following slide) will need to mature through upgrades and improvements to infrastructure and service links traversing east-west and north-south across the Hume Region. These links will provide mobility within the region and to locations outside of the region and will support a strong, robust network of connected settlements.

• The future growth and success of the transport and logistics industry in Hume is largely dependent on the advancement of transport infrastructure.

• Truck Driver enrolments in VET courses have decreased in Hume from 2008-2011.

• Decreases can be seen in both VET courses for the occupation.

Note: A representative from the Industry Skills Council explained that a decrease in enrolments may be attributable to a change in the training package. An additional factor is that due to the nature of the job, drivers are time poor and limited in study capacity. (03/04/2012)

Future direction

Page 41: © Workforce Planning Australia -  The Hume Workforce Development Committee Hume Regional Development Australia Transport &

What this means?

1. Population Growth, increased freight movement and visitor numbers will place increased pressure on the Hume transport system and logistics industry.

2. Employment in the Hume industry is expected grow faster than the national average with an average annual growth rate of 4% to 2016. (National industry growth forecast of 2.2%)

3. Truck drivers are projected to show the strongest occupational growth with an average annual growth rate to 2016 forecast at 5.9%. It should be noted that there is a shortage of truck drivers nationally and this poses risk to the Hume industry.

4. Overall industry enrolments in VET courses have increased (most notable in the Cert I, III and IV qualification levels)

5. The strongest growth in industry enrolments has come from the 15-19 and 20-24 age groups. This suggests any current youth attraction strategies in place are effective.

6. The diversity of enrolments has increased across all focus occupations of the labour market scan including number of disabled, indigenous and CALD students from 2008 to 2011. This suggests any current diversity strategies in place to increase enrolments from these groups are effective.

41 |

Page 42: © Workforce Planning Australia -  The Hume Workforce Development Committee Hume Regional Development Australia Transport &

What this means?

• There is a high percentage of Warehouse Administrator and Store person VET enrolments in the 15-19 and 20-24 age groups. Truck and Delivery Driver occupations have an older age profile. A potential explanation for this may be that youth are following a pathway in the industry where they start in operational / administrative positions and transition to driver roles later in their career. Another factor may be the insurance implications and cost for employers of training / employing young drivers in these occupations.

42 |

Page 43: © Workforce Planning Australia -  The Hume Workforce Development Committee Hume Regional Development Australia Transport &

Questions

1. What is driving growth stronger then the national average in the Hume Transport & Logistics industry? Have all factors been considered?

2. Is there a strategy to attract, recruit and retain truck drivers in the industry?

3. What has driven the increase in VET course enrolments over 2006-2012? o Growth in youth age groups of 15-19 and 20-24?o Increase in diversity of enrolments? WELL Program etc.?o Decrease in driver VET enrolments against this trend? Changes to training package /

occupational requirements?

4. Are youth following a pathway in the industry? Starting in operational / administrative positions and transitioning to driver roles?

5. What factors are inhibiting youth age groups in the driver occupations? E.g. Insurance, cost, training etc.?

6. What are the lessons learnt that are applicable in other industries?
