Labor leader Anthony Albanese will unveil a suite of measures on Thursday aimed at addressing the country’s growing tech skills shortage, with an aim of having 1.2 million Australians in tech jobs by 2030, based on free TAFE places, extra university courses and government support for growing start-ups.
The announcement will be made at an event in western Sydney on Thursday alongside shadow innovation minister Ed Husic, climate change spokesman Chris Bowen and industry heavyweight, Tesla chair Robyn Denholm.
