Careers
Property Services is an area where you can build a strong career through vocational
education and training. Meeting various licensing or regulatory requirements, which
are often underpinned by meeting training package requirements is also essential
if you want to work within this sector. Over recent years there has been a strong
movement to improve industry standards, promote ongoing training and upskilling
of the workforce. Increasing work force participation and overcoming skills shortages
are seen as new challenges in the years ahead.
The market within which Australian
industry now competes is constantly evolving. Powerful new economies are emerging,
cycles of change within industry sectors are more frequent and decisive; and there
are growing calls for Australia to broaden its economic base .
The skills needed
to respond to this environment are well captured within industry's Training Packages,
but as national standards for workplace performance, they must continue to evolve
if they are to identify and anticipate the skill needs of each industry .
Property Services
The NSW Property and Financial Services ITAB is concerned with Property once it has been
built, i.e. once a property has been developed it requires specialist services.
It must be sold, bought and managed (Property Development & Management), maintained
(Asset Maintenance) and protected (Asset Security). There is a large variety of
jobs in property services that you may never even have thought about - from trades
positions to technical and scientific, management and professional careers.
To work
effectively in any industry, people need to be trained. Training can be undertaken
in the workplace, off the job, at a training organisation, during regular work,
or through work experience, work placement or work simulation. In most instances
training does not rely on one method but rather a combination of these methods.
Training and qualifications for industries are organised into Training Packages,
which are part of a National Training Framework that aims to make skills development
and training arrangements simple, flexible and relevant to the needs of industry.
