As homes become more sustainable across the state, we often think of recycling, compost heaps and energy-saving light bulbs as some of the common contributors. But plumbing has become a key player in making our properties more water efficient.
Minister for training and skills Steve Herbert said plumbing in Victoria is a growing industry that is embracing new technologies to build a more sustainable state, with more apprenticeships in the industry being sought.
"Apprenticeships are an important pathway, not just for school-leavers, but for mature-aged Victorians wanting to start a plumbing career," said Mr Herbert in an 11 March statement. He also stated that an additional 6,100 plumbers were needed over the next five years, making it a potentially lucrative career in the near future.
