Book Description
Job training has taken a central place among strategies to boost U.S. competitiveness in the world and ensure a high standard of living. Decision making in this area has a major impact on American workers who do not earn 4-year college degreesâ€"fully three-quarters of the workforce. This timely volume reviews the state of postsecondary training for work in the United States; it addresses controversies about federal job policies and programs and outlines a national approach to improved quality and accessibility in workplace preparation. The committee focuses on the various types of training individuals need during their working lives. Leading experts explore the uneven nature of postsecondary training in the United States and contrast our programs with more comprehensive systems found in other major industrial countries. The authors propose what the federal government canâ€"and cannotâ€"do in improving postsecondary training, exploring appropriate roles and responsibilites for federal, state, and private interests. The volume highlights opportunities for improvement in the development of skills standards, student financial aid, worker retraining, second-change education, and the provision of better information to program managers, public officials, and trainees. With a wealth of insightful commentary and examples, this readable volume will be valuable to federal and state policymakers, leaders in the field of training, educators, employers, labor unions, and interested individuals.

Book Description
TAFE Directors Australia (TDA) has produced this `White Paper' Investing in Productivity as a submission to the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). The White Paper advocates solutions towards Australian skilling institutes to successfully lift Human Capital development, and job participation in Australia. Both the geographic spread of TAFE Institutes, and their strategic market positioning offering skilled qualifications across most course types, indicates why it is critical for TAFE to successfully engage in the COAG reform agenda. This White Paper to COAG demonstrates how integrated measures can bring about change, especially across three areas: Learning for Life to motivate skills development for younger and mature aged Australians; Investment options for business and individuals in TAFE; and How reforms to the structure of TAFE, and widening options of qualifications, can support expanding requirements for flexibility, client demands in changing markets and offshore delivery.
