The forest industry is mainly based on sustainably managed pine. For the forestry industry, some of the main changes over the next 10 years are expected to include increasing log availability, an industrial roundwood shortage particularly in Asia, a transition from log exporting to exporting more processed products, and opportunities such as carbon farming.

The move to automation will require a more skilled workforce, including better maintenance and diagnostic skills. In addition, fabricated and engineered products will require design engineers and skilled assembly workers and fabricators.

Greater emphasis on engineered products and prefabricated buildings will require training specialists to educate engineers, designers and architects.

Occupations expected to be in demand: ​
  • Support and sales workers
  • Technicians
  • Trade workers
  • Non-farm managers

  • Labourers
  • Transport
  • Plant operators

The one occupation where a decline is expected is forestry workers.
​

Qualifications most in demand are likely to be in: 
  • Engineering
  • Related technology studies
  • Related architecture studies



  • Related building studies
  • Related management studies
  • Related commerce field of study
