From 'skill shortages' to decent work: the role of better skill ecosystems
Skills policy in Australia is at an impasse. Despite unprecedented employer control over the vocational education and training (VET) system, skills problems - shortages, recruitment and retention issues - persist, and may be worsening. This paper argues that these problems can only be overcome if workforce development is better linked with business/organisational development. This is essential for continued productivity growth and more decent work.
