The Skills Australia Doesn’t Have — and What the Training System Needs to Do About It
Description
Fifty-one percent of Australia’s persistent skills shortages are in trades and technicians. A 370,000 digital worker shortfall is projected. Green skills are urgently needed for one million roles in the next five years. The data is clear — but the question of what the training system actually does about it is far more complex. In this episode, Kerri talks to a workforce expert close to the national data about where the gaps are most acute, why the current system is not closing them fast enough, and what needs to change.
