Meeting workforce planning and development challenges: a direct role for the VET sector

Sustained economic growth and population ageing are fuelling skill shortages and gaps, highlighting the importance of workforce planning and development. It is unclear how well positioned workplaces are to meet these challenges.

This paper reports on the results of a survey of workforce planning in South Australian workplaces. Through a series of case studies undertaken for a second study, the paper also identifies some of the wider implications for workforce planning of a number of initiatives being undertaken in South Australia.
