Karratha will host a meeting with resources companies and service providers today to discuss the skills needed in the booming resources sector.

The Commonwealth’s Resources Sector Employment Task Force is examining what potential skills shortages may eventuate over the next five years as a number of major projects come online.

The meeting will be held at the Karratha International Hotel.

Those attending include Chevron, the Pilbara Aboriginal Contractors Association, Citic Pacific Mining and the Port Hedland Council.
The task force is due to report back to the Government mid-year.
