The OECD’s Regional Policy Network on Education and Skills aims to foster knowledge exchange in support of national growth and regional integration. The Network encourages a whole-of-government approach to formulating and implementing sound skills policies. It draws on the growing participation by Southeast Asian countries in the OECD’s education surveys and local job creation policy reviews, which provide valuable comparative data and analysis that can help countries in the region build more efficient and effective employment and skills systems.

- From the outset, it’s critical to understand the role of employment services – they literally bring people together. The Australian experience, which I’ll be happy to take questions on later, has been one of local connections, local people, and local solutions. Employment services are about breaking down silos. Our experience has been that locally-based employment services can bring people from business, industry, education and training together and literally build human capacity. SMEs are key users of employment services. Australia’s employment services system is federally funded – one purchaser – government. There are multiple providers across Australia ranging in size and profile. Our system is aimed at increasing employment participation, building skills in demand and helping individual job seekers, particularly disadvantaged and vulnerable job seekers, find sustainable employment. It provides a focus on the needs of employers, in particular SMEs, through the development of strategies to help employers address their skills and labour needs. It is a wrap around service delivery model which particularly supports disadvantaged job seekers and inclusive employment. Contract arrangements and performance framework (KPIs) are designed to drive partnerships between employment services, training and industry at a local level. Employment service providers are the ‘glue’, not only providing employment services, but linking education and training, employers, and complementary services to assist job seekers and meet employer needs. It is an integrated system and meets employer needs. So, this is what it is – but where have we come from?
- How does the system work. {Sally explain the schematic and go through} Education, training, youth services, employment, and employers all relate. Providers place and train disadvantaged job seekers – they are agents of inclusiveness Measures for inclusive employment including youth, people with disability and long-term unemployed Transitions to education or the world of work What skills do employers really need? Consider ‘technical’ (hard skills) but also employability skills (soft skills) including literacy / numeracy (Core Skills for work – 21st Century Skills) Recognising the key people and organisations – education and training, employers, employment providers – and their roles. What roles do they have and how can they work together? Others complementary programmes linking experience to opportunities such as Transition to Work and Work for the Dole. On 1 July 2015, the Australian Government introduced new employment services called jobactive to better meet the needs of job seekers and employers and improve job outcomes. Job seekers have access to tailored help from a jobactive organisation, based on their assessed needs. This includes the most disadvantaged job seekers. Both the funding and the performance management framework is geared towards providing most support for the most disadvantaged. This could include help with looking for work, writing a resume and preparing for interviews referrals to jobs in their local area; training that is suited to the skills that local employers need; case management so they are ready to take up and keep a job; and support to complete Work for the Dole or other eligible activities to provide them with work-like experiences, to help them learn new skills and improve their chances of finding a job. A total of 66 organisations are now delivering the new services across Australia, including jobactive organisations and New Enterprise Incentive Scheme organisations.
