This paper reviews Australia's performance in the provision of training over the last decade with a focus on industry training, suggesting that there is a persistent belief in Australian policy circles that by international standards Australia is a poor performer. A review of current research points to a number of key factors that are associated with the provision of industry training in Australian enterprises.
