Welcome to the August Newsletter.
I am particularly pleased to advise that CMEIG will be hosting a business lunch at the Queensland Cricketers Club on Wednesday the 21st September with our guest presenter being The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk MP, Premier of Queensland and Minister for the Olympics. This is not a public event and has been specifically arranged for CMEIG members only.
Infrastructure spending both in the immediate term and in the lead up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics will underpin the health of our industry in Queensland and it will be terrific to hear the Premier’s insights.
A casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the ability to get together to hear about on issues affecting our industry and I look forward to seeing many of you at this keynote event.
“Environment and Sustainability” is a pillar of CMEIG’s own intentions so it is great to gather learnings from On Road Transport’s journey to zero emissions. We have much to share.
CMEIG’s Engineering Working Group continues to receive plaudits for the extensive body of work that they are delivering through Standards Australia and through regulators both around the country and internationally.
The skills shortage confronting Australian industry is a challenge in ensuring skilled employees to meet today’s challenges but also in addressing future skills challenges particularly with the raft of emerging technologies.
This edition of the Newsletter provides a summary of Government skills initiatives that you may have heard of along with CMEIG activities to influence and develop the employee skillsets of the future.
Stay safe and I trust you enjoy the Newsletter.
Best Wishes,
Dean Gaedtke
Chair CMEIG
