In this interview, Steve Davis talks with researcher Tanya Bretherton about her report 'Developing the child care workforce: understanding 'fight' or 'flight' amongst workers' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 100.06]. The early childhood education and care sector in Australia has long been characterised by low-skill/low-pay jobs. The current policy environment, however, may offer scope for the sector to move towards a path of skill growth. This report, based on case studies of four early childhood education and care providers, investigates how innovative employers are overcoming challenges in the sector to improve workforce development.

In this interview, Steve Davis talks with Tom Karmel about his paper 'Apprenticeships and traineeships in the downturn' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 97.15]. Apprenticeships have a very long history in Australia, building on the traditions of the medieval guilds. The essence of the apprenticeship is the contract of training - a legal contract between an individual, an employer and a training provider. The defining characteristic is the combination of employment and training. The purpose of the paper is to describe what we know about apprenticeships and traineeships, with a view to assessing the likely impact of the current economic downturn on them. Show less
