Employment research, evaluations and data

Jobs and Skills Australia will provide independent advice and establish genuine tripartite partnerships with state and territory Governments, industry, business peaks, unions and training providers to ensure the training system is fit for purpose and to address the skills crisis in this country. Jobs and Skills Australia will:

• Start responding to the critical and evolving skills needs that workers and employers are facing.
• Bring together national leadership and expertise, and cutting-edge data analytic capability.
• Play an active role in workforce planning to provide a long-term view of Australia’s workforce needs.

Employment services evaluations aim to assess whether program and policy outcomes are being delivered as intended, and generate evidence to inform decision-making and continuous program improvement.
