It provides an introduction to the concept of workforce development and identifies key objectives to inform strategic planning. http://www.sapo.org.au/pub/pub11483.html DATE: Thursday, 12 June 2008 SUMMARY: The Strategic Plan (SASP) contains 98 targets `to benchmark or measure our progress over time', and the Government has indicated that these will be assessed and published every two years. However, other than those targets specifically for the Aboriginal population, many do not directly address levels of inequality across the community. This web site provides an analysis of 29 targets (or supplementary measures) from the revised South Australia's Strategic Plan (January 2007), taking an inequality perspective. The intention in presenting the data in this way is to add another dimension to the information already available in the Plan. http://www.sapo.org.au/pub/pub10803.html DATE: Monday, 7 April 2008 SUMMARY: The welfare-to-work policy aims to encourage certain welfare recipients to pursue pathways that lead to paid employment. This report explores the role that the vocational education and training (VET) system can play in assisting people move from welfare to work. The researchers examined the experiences of VET students from the relevant welfare groups and sought the views of other key stakeholders such as TAFE staff and Centrelink personnel. Conclusions include that VET can play a positive role but that there needs to be collaboration between VET and income support sectors to ensure that potential barriers are overcome. http://www.sapo.org.au/pub/pub10405.html DATE: Monday, 18 February 2008 SUMMARY: Since 2003 there has been significant effort by the South Australian government to enhance Aboriginal peoples' employment outcomes in the public sector.
