Gas IRC Chair Lindsay Eisemann:

“The introduction of technology introduces not only opportunities but challenges as well.  As technology evolves we are starting to see we need new skills in the workforce to be able to keep up with that technology advancement.

We are constantly seeing change occurring and the need for skills and the way we do things are a lot smarter, a lot more efficient. Regardless of whether you came from school or within industry and you want to build up your skill sets, the VET sector is where they come from.”
