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

Better and longer term advice on industry skill needs

Today, Australia holds a position of strength in the global economy. This has been achieved through embracing change, robust growth and a focus on productivity improvements. Vocational education and training has made an important contribution by increasing the skills of Australian workers, which has delivered higher productivity and more innovative work practices. As in many countries a number of changes are also evident in Australia: the developing knowledge-based economy and the growing services sector. The impact of these changes is causing a sea change in skill requirements for Australian industry, as demand for traditional skills in some industries is now being overshadowed by demand for skills to create, organise and apply knowledge and to work with others to do so. The borders of occupations are blurring with the diffusion of technology across industries. Application of new technology impacts on the shelf-life of skills, necessitating accelerated skills development. The other long-standing trend - that of part-time exceeding full-time job gains - is also expected to continue. To ensure that Australia's workforce is at the cutting edge of these developments, the Government, through the ANTA [Australian National Training Authority] Board, needs strong and robust advice from industry about its future skill needs. In 2003 the ANTA Board took two initiatives to strengthen the advice from industry - the launching of a National Industry Skills Forum of industry leaders and the creation of 10 new Industry Skills Councils. The ANTA Board wants to work in partnership with businesses to meet the demand for skills in traditional and emerging industries.

As National Competency Standards and Training Packages are introduced into TAFE Institutes, they will affect education programs and, therefore, the library staff and services that support the programs. It is crucial that library staff understand the competency standards so that they may support teaching staff and students in the delivery of Training Packages. This document provides: an explanation of National Competency Standards and National Training Package; a list of key competencies; activities to develop an understanding of Training Packages and competency standards; a glossary of related terms; an annotated bibliography; and a checklist for self-assessment in relation to understanding National Competency Standards and Training Packages.

Review of the ANTA VET in Schools program: final report to the Australian National Training Authority

The Allen Consulting Group was commissioned by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) to undertake a review of the ANTA VET in Schools initiative to assess the program's effectiveness in expanding VET in Schools and to inform further policy advice on VET in Schools with regard to program development. This review was based on an Evaluation Framework that outlined the processes underlying the assessment of the program relevant to its objectives. Findings from the review indicated that the outcomes envisaged for the program had not been fully achieved and some basic measurement issues needed addressing before final assessments could be made. A range of quality issues appeared to exist which needed to be resolved before it could be said that the program had brought about a full transition and delivered its full potential value. The report is structured as follows: the first chapter provides an introduction and the background to the program; chapter two describes the current status of the program and examines key activity trends over its three year history; chapter three examines the value delivered by the program; chapter four assesses its future sustainability; and the final chapter outlines the key areas that could be the basis for building conditions into the redesign of the guidelines in order to complete the transition and to ensure longer term sustainability of the program.
