NEW PODCAST: Investing in our workforce
Young people are finding it harder and harder to get a foothold into highly-skilled, better paying jobs that can set them up for the future.
How can we increase job numbers and provide better pathways into these careers?
Join Steve Davis as he talks to Dr Peter Hurley (Education Policy Fellow, Mitchell Institute), Ian Curry (National Coordinator, AMWU), and Simon Walker (Managing Diector, NCVER) about:
- Cadetships, higher apprenticeship programs, and work-ready skills
- What are the merits of a national cadet program for jobs usually associated with diplomas or bachelor degrees?
- Will it lead to better employment outcomes for young people?
