Innovation in business, particularly across the major industries on which Australia's economy rests, requires a skilled workforce. This book of research readings explores the role Australia's vocational education and training (VET) sector can fulfill to assist business innovation. In doing so, various chapters consider the implications of innovation for Australian workers and identify the VET sector's contribution. Other chapters, based on international comparisons, evaluate elements of the national innovation system currently missing or under-emphasised. It finds VET providers have a vital role to play in the provision of training for innovative enterprises. To do so, providers must identify their strengths and build industry partnerships in these areas, which may require working more effectively across disciplines and develop more personalised arrangements for delivery. |
