This report provides an overview of the entire Australian workforce based on the methodology used in the American study titled 'Education for what? the new office economy' by Anthony P. Carnevale and Stephen J Rose (an executive summary of this study may be found at TD/INT 54.13). Data from five Australian censuses (1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, and 1996) have been analysed to provide a time series profile of the Australian workforce, focusing on types of functions instead of just where people work or what occupation they have. The project report reveals relationships between what people do, how much they earn, and how educated they are.
Section 1 details the rationale behind the functional approach taken to analyse economic activities and the workforce. An overview is provided of the trends on the total workforce for the past twenty years, and presents findings on employment share, and the education and earnings of workers in the various function groups.
Section 2 explains the job level analysis (elite, good, and less-skilled) in greater detail and presents findings on employment share, education and earnings in terms of these categories.

The Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) has been funding research that examines design and innovation since 1997. As the research evolved, the findings demonstrated that identifiable skills for innovation are accessible to most of us under the right conditions and can be utilised by all workers in an organisation. This publication provides a comprehensive practical example of how an organisation can use the innovation skills and embed them into processes, products and services. Kangan Batman TAFE Automotive Division volunteered to act as the case study for this publication. The skills identified from the research have been tested with several organisations and are described within the text.
The 'Innovation: ideas that work' series is indexed from TD/ANTA 72.22 to TD/ANTA 72.32. Show less

This report provides an overview of a visit undertaken to Germany by an Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) officer. The purpose of the visit was to review vocational education and training arrangements in the two countries and to identify any lessons for the Australian vocational education and training system. It provides a brief summary and analysis of the two systems and identifies linkages with the Australian vocational education and training system. Differences between the German and English vocational education and training systems are discussed briefly. The main part of the report focuses on emerging issues in the German and English systems, identifying five areas of particular interest to the Australian system: 1. The extent of industry involvement in and support for vocational education and training arrangements; 2. The value of a national vocational education and training/qualifications framework; 3. Balancing vocational training and general education; 4. Emerging issues in relation to training/learning and assessment arrangements; and 5. The rigour and effectiveness of quality assurance processes. The report concludes that all three systems are grappling with many similar issues and the lessons learned could be of particular importance in the continuing improvement of the Australian system.

Under the current arrangements, individuals in the building and construction industry can be assessed to gain recognition of competencies achieved in two different ways: by completing a structured training course with a training provider and by gaining recognition of competencies achieved through work experience and/or workplace training. However, there is no mutual recognition of the outcomes of the two systems. The model proposed here is designed to integrate the two systems leading to a vocational qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Show less

Attitude and action: bridging the industry gap

This article is a short report on the progress made by Australian employers in developing formal and informal training for employees, as set out in 'A bridge to the future: Australia's National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training 1998-2003'. Research conducted by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA), the Australian Industry Group (AiG) and the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) over the past year indicates that considerable progress has been made. However, there appears to be a discrepancy between the positive attitude to training and the actual commitment to formal training. ANTA is interested in finding the reasons for this gap, particularly as other research has shown a clear connection between a skilled workforce and a more efficient business. In examining the reasons for the disparity between attitude and intent, respondents to a survey included loss of productive employee time, desire on the part of the individual for employer approval, and dissatisfaction with the training support from both private and public providers. ANTA is conducting a national round of consultation on the marketing strategy and hopes to finalise an industry-focused action campaign for this year to encourage more training activity. Show less
