Current Focus

Driver Licenses and Work Mobility

We are also exploring the barriers around work mobility and licenses and through our recent workshops with the RSLG (Regional Skills Leadership Group) this has come up as one of the biggest challenges and barriers for people getting to work. Amplify will be doing on-going work to address these barriers with other stakeholders.

Amplify is your voice

Regional Skills Leadership Groups

The Regional Skills Leadership Groups identify and support better ways of meeting future skills and workforce needs in our regions and cities. They are part of a joined-up approach to labour market planning which will see our workforce, education and immigration systems working together to better meet the differing skills needs across the country.

Workforce development Councils (WDC)

WDC will give industry a greater voice in the vocational education system to ensure their future workforce needs are met. There are six development councils. Each WDC will work with industry and employers to understand the skills that are needed. This information will be passed to education and training providers, who will be expected to create learning programmes that will give people relevant skills to address future workforce needs.
