The Australian public will need to subsidise education and training courses and encourage older workers to rejoin the workforce to fill “critical” skills shortages across the economy.
Taxpayers will need to subsidise education and training courses and older workers will have to be encouraged to rejoin the workforce to fill “critical” skills shortages across the economy, a major accounting body has warned ahead of this week’s Jobs and Skills Summit.
“We want free or highly subsidised vocational training in areas of crucial short-term need, to increase the labour pool and reduce skills shortages. We need to encourage more people to complete courses in areas of skill shortages,” Mr Hunter said.“This won’t solve the current skills shortage, but it’ll set Australia up for long-term success.”
Mr Clare flagged he wants to explore ways to encourage more international students to stay in Australia following graduation and will be raising the issue during this week’s Jobs and Skills Summit as part of the discussion around skilled migration. “Accountants prepare the financial and non-financial data that business and governments rely on to make critical investment decisions. Accountants are critical enablers to the efficient operation of the economy, business growth and job creation,” Mr Hunter said.
