Adult Learning
Supporting continuous adult learning and upskilling for business success
At a time when many businesses are battling the day to day challenges to make ends meet, some might ask whether workforce skills continue to matter in an economic downturn and increasing unemployment.
The simple fact is that a skilled workforce is as important as ever, particularly as the reality of Australia’s aging population and declining workforce growth begins to bite. At the same time jobs are becoming more complex, and new technology is changing the workplace and the jobs available in the workplace. Now, more than ever employers must recognise the growing need for workforce upskilling and continuous adult learning at and for work.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland aims to raise employer awareness about the adult learning imperative and support industry uptake of continuous learning cultures and existing worker upskilling.
This guide for employers is designed to:
- Help you recognise the growing priority for continuous adult and existing worker education and workplace learning
- Provide practical information on the training and upskilling opportunities employers can drive within their workplaces
