From butchers to bakers, barbers and builders, The NSW government and TikTok are helping Australians discover new interests and inspiring them to consider a career outside of a university degree.
Countless skilled workers are turning to TikTok to share their tricks of the trade and inspire young people to fill essential skills gaps.
To help demonstrate the real world impact of showcasing trades online, TikTok Australia and the Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan, will host an in-person creator careers event, where young people can meet and be mentored by some of the biggest TikTok creators leading their fields.
There are currently 48 million #LearnOnTikTok posts showing how Australians are turning to the platform to discover the skills to nail their working futures.
Tradies have built a solid foundation on TikTok, with more than 6.8 million posts showcasing #construction and other popular trades like #barber (7.6 million posts) and #florist (1.3 million posts).
