Anthea Triandafyllakos and Tavis Shearer, FREC discuss their findings in market trends, the significant shift from contract to permanent blue-collar roles, the driving factors behind this change, and how it reshapes industry standards
The trade workforce is undergoing significant transformations, particularly in blue-collar trades. As business realities and worker expectations evolve, a noticeable shift towards permanent placements in traditionally contract roles occurs. This trend has important implications for both employers and employees.

Addressing Workforce Decline
The trade industry faces a shrinking workforce, with more retiring tradies than new apprentices. The shift to permanent employment may attract and retain workers by offering better job security and career prospects.
Future Outlook
The trend towards permanent jobs reshapes the trade workforce, providing stable employment opportunities for tradies and workforce stability for employers. As these trends evolve, insights from leaders like Tavis and Anthea and discussions on the TRS podcast will be invaluable.
