The short answer

The independent signals behind the Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology - Electrical line up. Electrical engineering technicians are in shortage in parts of the country, employment is projected to grow through 2035 and enrolments are rising. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.

Jobs and Skills Australia

Is the work there?

Job ads for electrical engineering technicians are holding steady. About 190 electrical engineering technician jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 0.3% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 2,300 job ads, while 515 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
