Workforce development tool released



The National Industry Skills Committee (NISC) has released a web-based tool to assist employers and enterprises in identifying and proactively addressing their future workforce skill requirements.

The Online Workforce Development Starter Tool comprises a series of dynamic and interactive screens, which enable the user to enter basic information about their organisation to receive summary details about potential factors impacting on their workforce.

The user can review future forecasts and issues pertinent to their business and workforce as well as generate a customized report, specific to their business.
