The short answer

The independent signals behind the Advanced Diploma of ESI - Power Systems 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 140 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 UET60222 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 3123) 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.
