The Future Queensland Workforce: Productivity, Skills and Migration
Queensland's growth depends on a workforce that is skilled, resilient and adaptable. This breakfast will examine how demographic shifts, education reforms, workforce participation, and migration policies are reshaping the State's labour market.
Leaders will consider the pressing questions:
- How do we close the skill gap?
- How is the education sector performing?
- What role should industry play in training and re-skilling?
- How can we attract and retain talent in a highly competitive global market?
