Overview

Question 5: How do we develop a skilled workforce for the future?

By building strong early foundations, teaching the basics well, integrating VET and higher education, boosting lifelong learning, and using skilled migration to fill critical skills gaps so Australia has the talent to power its future.

We work with industry leaders, education providers and governments to align education with jobs — simplifying qualifications, expanding apprenticeships and work-integrated learning, scaling AI/digital capability, building a culture of lifelong learning, fast-tracking visa settings, and sharpening workforce analytics so investment follows real skill needs.

Within this area of focus, we have the Skills and R&D CEO Committee chaired by Guy Chalkley, CEO, Endeavour Energy.
