CEO UPDATE
Industry intelligence, data analytics and research are today more important than ever. Real-time evidence supports the tools to help decision-makers, businesses and employees to focus on the skills needed now, and as businesses and the economy recover from COVID-19.
The National Skills Commission, which formally commenced on 1 July, has released its first publication, A snapshot in time: Australia’s Labour Market and COVID-19. The report explores matching skills and jobs post the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that as Australia starts to recover from the effects of the pandemic, there will be challenges and difficult times ahead. But there will also be opportunities. We can hasten recovery by understanding where jobs are growing and ensuring our workforce has the necessary skills for those jobs.
