The short answer

The signals behind the Certificate I in Resources and Infrastructure Operations are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Enrolments are rising and job ads in June 2026 were up 11.1% on a year earlier. The official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
