Knowledge work: the rise of the office economy: full report

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.
A booklet containing highlights of this report may be found indexed at TD/ANTA 59.01. Show less

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 key objective of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF), developed by the National Training Quality Council (NTQC) of the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) board in conjunction with the states and territories in 2001, was to provide the basis for a nationally consistent, high quality vocational education and training (VET) system. There are two sets of standards under the AQTF: standards for registered training organisations (RTOs); and standards for state and territory registering/course accrediting bodies. These standards were reviewed in 2004 and this document contains the 28 revised standards that state and territory registering/course accrediting bodies must follow for: evaluating training organisations to ensure they meet, and continue to meet, the standards for RTOs; registration of training organisations; accreditation of courses; and national recognition.
