WA Event Industry Jobs, Education, and Training Survey 2023

The aim of this survey is to assist the Department of Training and Workforce Development to understand the skills and labour needs of the Western Australian Event industry, and the various training, education, and migration pathways available to meet these needs. Information gathered through this survey will help inform solutions to the State's workforce development and training priorities.

FutureNow may also use this information (not individual responses rather overall themes) to inform our ongoing research into the Western Australian events sector.

The survey should take around 6-8 minutes to complete. If you would prefer to speak to us directly, we welcome your input and encourage you to get in touch.
