The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to investing in real skills for real jobs.
I was extremely pleased to take part in a forum with nine industry partners to explore the priorities for Tasmania’s training and workforce development system.
Today’s constructive meeting was a great opportunity to hear from industry on the challenges and opportunities for training and workforce development.
What we discussed today will assist the government in forming priorities for Tasmania’s Training and Workforce Development System in 2015-16.
One of the items discussed today was how we can build a common understanding of issues facing the skills and training sector across various industries by driving greater coordination and efficiency in the delivery of training and skills development across Tasmania.
The Government has a long-term Plan to grow the economy and create jobs and a key aspect of our plan is engaging with and investing in our Tasmanian workforce.
We are committed to helping businesses grow by cutting red tape and reducing regulatory burdens and at the same time ensuring Tasmanians have the best possible training and employment opportunities.
We are committed to supporting industries to grow and making sure they have the skilled workforce to do it.
