Strategic Issues Papers

The National Industry Skills Committee (NISC) has developed a series of strategic issues papers under the general theme of VET of the Future – An Industry Perspective. These papers present a NISC view on key issues with implications for Australian skills and workforce development, and form an important component of the strategic advice that the Committee provides to the Ministerial Council for Vocational and Technical Education (MCVTE).

The following papers have been prepared to date:

1. Making Young People Work Ready – Positive Pathways to the Future
