KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS
Interviews with key stakeholders were held during November and December 2012. Interviewees were purposively selected from the
CS&HISC database to ensure a cross-section of sectors was represented. Priority was given to stakeholders who were not available
to travel to Sydney for the industry forum. In total, 12 interviews were held. Interviews were conducted by telephone by the Workplace
Research Centre. Interviewees were invited to outline their views on the operating environment and current and future workforce
development needs for their sector.
INDUSTRY FORUM
The industry forum was held in Sydney on 3 December 2012. Invitations were issued by the CS&HISC to a selection of stakeholders from
the CS&HISC database. Twenty-two stakeholders from a cross-section of service providers, peak bodies, professional groups and unions,
and RTOs attended. The forum was facilitated by the WRC. During the day, discussions focused on:
ww
How can workforce development respond to increasing skills complexity
ww
How do you see the delivery of new workers and skills through innovative training and assessment
ww
How are changes in industry (e.g. regulation, service provision, funding models) impacting on existing, new and emerging job roles
ww
How do you see VET and higher education as vehicles to improving educating and training in delivering the future workforce
ww
How can organisations better respond to workforce challenges through changes to practices and relationships
ww
To meet the challenges what new service models and work roles need to emerge
