Employers Perspective

Eligibility, Training, Fares, Media, Apprenticeships and Communication are some of the issues raised. See more below:

• Generational Unemployment
• Eligibility Criteria
• Linking with Apprenticeships
• Even with qualifications, need experience as well
• Cant start training until certain date
• Job-seekers not aware of suitable training and available
• Flexibility between departments (Early intervention)
• Unrealistic Employer expectations
• Lack of module-type courses
• Capacity to be trained (long literacy gaps, fear of failure in classroom setting)
• Getting training on the Job-Seeker radar
• Incorrect C/L advice
• Training an excuse for inactivity and employment engagements
• Inflexible training timetables
• How best to get them trained? Who are the job trainers? No Central base?
• Selective Funding
• Training in the workplace - most employers require trained staff
• Increasing funds - utilising funds better to incorporate employees
• Nothing in skills vouchers for employers
• Inflexibility of employers
• Flexible delivery options
• Qualifications mean little without basics (personal skills, confidence)
• PPS, Safety met, mentoring
• Lack of vocational training
• Certificate ll not appropriate to what employers want - Certificate lll.
• Pressure to get outcomes - especially if training does not lead to employment
• <$$ for U12 UE
• JST - revisited at 12 months UE
• Business Model
• Need of JNM Vs Client
• Communication between providers
• Inconsistent information given to clients
• Casual work not enough to getting skills
