Nothing says Australia like a 44 degree summer day in mid-January, as you hide from the scorching heat inside a cool, air-conditioned building. Air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics will never be out of a job due to the desperate need to stay cool in our climate.
In fact, air conditioning technicians have not been able to keep up with demand for the last 12 months due to an ageing workforce and lack of qualified workers. The Australian Government recognises this, and has created additional apprenticeship payments to help support 80,000 new apprentices for the next five years to 2024.
