As older workers remain in the workforce longer and are increasingly subject to career change, access to training and learning opportunities will become more important to them. The aim of this book is to explain how training and learning have assisted the participation of older workers in the workforce. It also identifies the specific training issues facing older Australians to assist this sector of the workforce to achieve its potential. The individual chapters in this book are: The need for training and learning / Josie Misko; Older people in VET / Jane Schueler; Training and labour market issues / Katrina Ball; Case studies / Kate Barnett; Summary and discussion / Andrew Smith.
