Creating Diversity in NSW’s Largest Industries: Professional Scientific and Technical Services

In New South Wales, the Professional Scientific and Technical Services industry is the second largest, following Health Care and Social Assistance. This industry covers a wide range of services, such as scientific research, architecture, engineering, computer system design, legal and accounting services, advertising and market research, veterinary care, and professional photography. While the work in this industry is valuable on its own, it also drives new research and innovations that benefit other industries. 

If you are an employer in this field, you probably value more than just technical skills. You are likely to be also looking for creativity, problem-solving abilities, adaptability, and critical thinking. If so, Global Skills encourages you to consider employing people with disability. They bring a range of skills and qualifications, as well as unique life experiences that can offer fresh perspectives and innovative solutions. Research suggests that a diverse team not only sparks creativity and boosts productivity but can also give you a competitive edge.

Global Skills Disability Employment Services (DES) can help you connect with this diverse talent pool. We offer a free, professional recruitment service and support you throughout the hiring process, including ongoing support in the workplace as long as you need.
