Training down under: An Overview of the Australian Experience

Abstract

Examines the extent and coverage of private‐sector training in Australia and offers an overview of recent Australian Government initiatives in vocational education and training. Argues that Australia′s system of industrial relations diminishes the potential for training at the workplace but suggests that recent changes in institutional arrangements may mitigate this. Indicates that the introduction of a compulsory uniform training levy has not been very successful.
