The short answer

The independent signals behind the Graduate Diploma of Engineering line up. Other draftspersons are in national shortage and employment is projected to grow through 2035. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.

Jobs and Skills Australia

Is the work there?

Job ads for other draftspersons are holding steady. About 580 other draftsperson jobs were advertised online in June 2026, up 4.4% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 6,900 job ads, while 10 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.

How we calculate these figures

Get Course maps MEM80125 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 3129) so the mapping can be checked. Job advertisement counts come from the Jobs and Skills Australia Internet Vacancy Index and count online ads, not vacancies filled. Enrolment counts come from NCVER Total VET Activity and count people in training, not completions. Funding rows appear only after verification against the official state program list.
