Glenn gives mention to a DeakinCo & Deloitte Access Economics White Paper, developed from a new study of ‘Premium Skills’, which suggests that increasing human skills in Australian workplaces is key to lifting wages’.

Key findings:

By 2030 five core industries (government services, education, construction, health and professional services) will be adversely affected by human skills shortages Australian businesses are underspending on training, allocating $4.5 billion annually on formal training, compared to $7 billion on recruitment.

By 2030 it’s expected that two thirds of jobs in Australia will be human skill intensive. Premium human skills in the workplace result in higher wages for individuals and improved outcomes for businesses.
