This paper summarises the findings from the first year of a three-year research program investigating the role of vocational education and training (VET) for older workers.
Paying particular attention to older workers, this report examines the relationship between the skills of workers and the skill requirements of the jobs in which they work.
The relationship between job requirements, individual skills and the participation of workers in further education and training, with an emphasis on older workers, is the focus of this report.
