  • a more responsive tertiary system through better partnership agreements between vocational education and training (VET) and higher education
  • preparing for the 'new economy', which relies on better generic skills so that workers can more rapidly adapt to new demands

  • develop a workforce development strategy for the tertiary education workforce to drive quality improvements.
