AUSMESA, one of the new Jobs and Skills Councils announced by the Australian Government, is addressing severe labor shortages in the mining and resources sector.

The Australian Minerals and Energy Skills Alliance (AUSMESA), announced last week as one of the Australian Government’s new Jobs and Skills Councils (JSC), is gearing up to tackle the most severe labour shortage in Australian history in the critical mining and resources sector.

AUSMESA was announced earlier this week as part of the federal government’s A$402-million investment over the next four years to establish the Jobs and Skills Councils (JSCs) to address skills shortages and broader workforce challenges.

The Australian Minerals and Energy Skills Alliance (AUSMESA), part of the Jobs and Skills Councils (JSCs) funded by the Australian government, aims to address the labor shortage in the mining and resources sector. A recent study by the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows the sector has the highest proportion of job vacancies.
