Securing a future in which meaningful jobs are available for all
The Centre for Workforce Futures welcomes the views expressed by the Australian Federal Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, the Hon Karen Andrews MP and the Members of the National Science and Technology Council at their second meeting convened in Canberra on 21 June 2019.
We are particularly pleased that:
- Minister Andrews ‘reiterated that the Government considers science and technology critical to productivity, jobs and Australia’s economic growth’.
- ‘Members agreed that Australia’s capacity to compete relies on maximising engagement in science and technology, and supporting lifelong learning and skills development. The focus must be on securing a future in which meaningful jobs are available for all’ (CWF emphasis).
