22622VIC is the nationally accredited Diploma of Product Design. It prepares you for work as an industrial designer. It has been the current version on the national register since 2023, when it replaced 22446VIC. Employers posted about 95 industrial designer jobs in June 2026, down 15.9% on a year earlier.
The signals behind the Diploma of Product Design are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035. Job ads in June 2026 were down 15.9% on a year earlier, the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage and enrolments are falling. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
Employers are posting fewer industrial designer jobs than a year ago. About 95 industrial designer jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 15.9% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 1,300 job ads, while 5 people were training in the course nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
