Training is one of the best ways to assist people to get access to broader and brighter futures.

As we transition towards a renewable energy economy, workers skilled for jobs in renewable energy, environmental restoration and tourism will be needed.
Workers must have the opportunity to upskill now, in preparation for the next resources mining boom. We must ensure we have a workforce skilled to work in the healthcare and social assistance industries, in anticipation of job creation in disability and aged care. This is particularly important as the population ages.
We need to plan for the future, right now.
