Aged Care
As with most industries, there are a wide variety of jobs from those requiring no previous background in the industry to those that require certain qualifications. With the ageing population, there are certainly many opportunities in this growing industry. Once in the industry, there are also many opportunities for people for training and obtaining qualifications that can further their careers. Obviously one of the most important qualities is the desire to be helpful to people.
