Recently the Innovation & Business Skills council released an environmental scan for their industry; Escan. Even though the industry is focused around Business, finance, IT, cultural, printing and training, the results provide valuable information for everyone thinking of setting up their own RTO.
The Escan 2011 highlights include:
• the attention of industry to business and environmental sustainability
• the importance to working Australians of digital literacy to maximising access to highspeed broadband
• the critical role the VET workforce plays in skilling future workforces, and
• the demand for ready mobility within the tertiary learning system – higher education to VET and vice versa – in workforce upskilling.
IBSA’s Escan 2011 presents a detailed, evidence-driven analysis of the social, demographic, technological, economic and labour market environments influencing workforce development and skills demand, within and across IBSA’s six industries; Escan is available now – download the Principal or Industry Escans 2011 here
