Skills formation strategies
What are skills formation strategies?
Skills formation strategies provide a framework for industries and communities to work with each other, the Queensland Government and other relevant stakeholders to analyse and address current and future workforce issues that may affect their future viability.
The skills formation strategy approach seeks to gain an understanding of workforce issues holistically, recognising that effective skilling can only occur when planned as part of the broader workforce context and the future of the industry or community.
Additionally, skills formation strategies focus on identifying issues common to an industry or community that are best addressed by their combined efforts or that cannot be addressed as an individual enterprise.
To effectively support this approach, skills formation strategies facilitate the development of relationships and networks that together will identify the future workforce needs of industry or community and work to develop and action combined workforce strategies.
Current skills formation strategies
The Department of Education and Training is working with a number of Queensland's industries and communities to address their labour supply issues using the skills formation strategy approach.
