CCI has developed an Education and Training discussion paper which addresses some of the key issues within the Education and Training system. The paper will be available for download soon.

Overview

CCI's Education and Training Committee meets on a quarterly basis and provides a forum for members to provide input into education and training policy.

The Committee actively liaises with State and Federal Government departments on a range of industry initiatives including the WA Department of Education and Training's proposed strategies for increasing pathways for school leavers, mature age employment and the State Training Board's Mature Age Taskforce, as well as proposed Commonwealth Government policy proposals, including the implications of the Federal Budget on education and training, and the High Level Review of Training Packages.

The Committee will continue to liaise with government to keep abreast of proposed future directions for education and training, and to ensure a key focus is maintained on literacy, numeracy and generic employability skills for school leavers seeking entry level apprenticeships and traineeships.

• To reflect the current and changing needs of industry
