Construction is a vital part of New South Wales’ economy, ranking as the third largest industry after Health Care and Social Assistance and Professional Scientific and Technical Services. Over 419,100 people are employed in this sector within the state, which encompasses the building of everything from homes and hospitals to roads, bridges, and renewable energy projects.

As the industry evolves and embraces digital advancements, there’s a wonderful opportunity for employers to tap into the potential of a truly diverse workforce. If you’re in construction, Global Skills encourages you to consider hiring people with disability. Their unique lived experiences can bring fresh ideas and innovative solutions to the table. Moreover, when your workforce reflects the communities you serve, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your clients’ diverse needs and preferences. This connection can not only enhance customer satisfaction but also strengthen community ties.

To help you connect with this diverse talent pool, Global Skills Disability Employment Services (DES) offers a free, professional recruitment service. We’re here to support you throughout the hiring process and provide ongoing assistance in the workplace for as long as you need.
