Dear Monique, et al,
I would very much like to be involved in this strategy. Currently as a facilitator for a company that enables the under-employed seek and get into sustainable work I find our current level of literacy woefully inadequate for the requirements of business.
I've been on both sides of the fence and realised that if I wanted to be able to make better choices for myself and my family I would have to continue my learning. I didn't have the opportunity to participate in any workplace strategies but have witnessed others who have had such opportunities. The results in increased confidence, a raising of the self esteem to levels previously never attained by those people is phenomenal, and encouraging.
You said it best ... "how can we support every worker to work to the best of their potential?". Support every worker so they maybe able to make more significant decisions that positively impact on their lives and the lives of their families, friends and whanau.

I agree with H Robertson's comment in regards to GOVT INCENTIVE...businesses may not be able to train or upskill - as it all comes back to TIME AND FINANCE issues. This is a nationwide problem - therefore Goverment must come up with incentives for businesses to train and upskill: incentives maybe in the form of less tax deductions ??? (its an idea) for companies that are serious about training to upskill.

Another strategy could be the govt funding a scheme that encourages businesses to allow for people to have work experience (especially those finding it hard to come back to the workforce - due to many years looking after family??) - this scheme could aid - school leavers, the mature workforce, students (to name a few). Govt could would need to come up with incentives - in the longrun - we all know we learn better practically - and most of our employment skills are learnt via the workplace and also, not all people are made for school, books - others learn practically and enjoy and respond better to a more hands-on approach.

Looking forward to hearing more strategies that will benefit the nation as a whole.

A question to the forum/website host: I only heard of these submissions via friends (after my regions meeting date) who saw a little boxed-corner advert in the paper about the regional meetings - why was there not more advertising to attract more people to attend??(yes, my friends attended the meetings) In this case I don't believe people are ignorant of the actual scheme, but its more about 'what scheme?' Is there any chance of having more meetings - maybe pushing the date back?? Couldn't emphasize more that this is a national problem - so why is it rushed? Well, thats just what I think - a little bit more public advertising would've been great - as the government have access to all types and forms of media to help get this message across.

thnx for the blog page anyway - good idea - hope you have all submitted your solutions :)

Consulting with small business

Hi all

We've finished our first week of public meetings.

One of the things that has come up over and over again is a concern about the need for us to find a way to connect with small business owners and workers to make sure we build their needs into the strategy.

We always knew that it was going to be a big ask to get small business along to meetings - particularly meetings held during the day. But I'd be really interested in any views about the things we might be able to do to give small business owners and workers the best chance to provide us with ideas.

Does this forum work? Or can we expect written submissions?

cheers
Monique

Hi Mary

I think you've raised probably one of the most important issues we are trying to grapple with through the strategy - how can we support every worker to work to the best of their potential? Education and training is always going to be a key part of this -but the question is the balance between technical skills (which - as you've said might become obsolete if industries change or businesses close) and other skills and attributes that will help people move in and out of jobs successfully (Stan's point).

So do we have an education and training system that responds to the preferences and needs of the individual student? Or do we try to direct people to the jobs that are most needed in the economy? Or is this all a bit "chicken and the egg"? People are probably going to keep making job and career choices based on what they know about wages and conditions; the best wages and conditions are likely to be in the more profitable/successful industries and firms (likely to be the industries and firms driving economic growth); and firm success and profit is going to increasingly depend on the way that firms support individuals to love what they do and work to the best of their potential.

The role of government in all of this is an open question - and may change from time to time depending on what's going on in the economy. In the context of the Skills Strategy we think that the first thing we need to do is work with unions, employer groups, industry associations and training providers to understand how the whole system is working to see if there are some things we should be doing to make everything work better.

We do think there is a need to improve the information available to people who are making career and job choices because there's evidence that a lot of people are moving in and out of jobs too quickly - we're particularly concerned about the people who are spending a lot of time and money getting qualifications for jobs that they only stay in for a short time - if at all.

All great issues to discuss!

cheers

As an employee in an Educational Institution trying to assist High School Students in accessing a potential Trades Apprenticeship, the feedback from Industry Employers is that there needs to be some Government incentives for employers to take on apprentices as this is usually at a cost in terms of time and money. The current economic climate is such, that at present several Industry Employers are downsizing, and others are on the brink of going into recievership if they haven't already. Feedback also indicates that many Apprentices once qualified, either leave the country for better wages or go off on their own. Who wouldn't when we looks at their earning potential in other countries. Student feedback also supports this as the main reason they have undertaken trying to gain an Apprenticeship is to ensure a degree of financial security in their future.
