Transport: Automotive

Close to a million cars were sold on the Australian market last year. Ships transport nearly all of Australian exports. Conversely, nearly all international passenger traffic arrives and departs by air.

The Australian passenger motor vehicle industry consists of four car manufacturers and more than 200 component, tooling, design and engineering firms. The automotive industry comprises a large sector of the Australian economy, with an annual turnover of $50 billion and employment in excess of 300,000

The demand for skilled professionals in Australia's automotive industries will ensure good employment opportunities now and into the future.  You can gain the skills and qualifications needed for the Automotive industry, through the Western Institute's wide selection of courses, experienced teachers and excellent learning facilities.
