(1) There are no formalised arrangements in place with the Department of Training and Employment to undertake research work to develop an improved industry training needs analysis methodology. The Building and Construction Industry Training Fund did, however, approach the Department of Training and Employment in January this year with a proposal to share information relating to the building and construction industry. Discussions have since occurred regarding this proposal, however, no formal arrangements have been entered into between the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund and the Department of Training and Employment. (2) No. (3) From the Department of Training and Employment's perspective, the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund proposal explores an information gathering and analysis model that could potentially be incorporated in, and add value to, guidelines governing the development of industry training plans across all industry sectors. Non-core services for the building and construction industry cover the provision of strategic industry intelligence and the provision of advice on specific industry skill requirements. It would be envisaged that any information gathering and analysis model would add value to these functions rather than duplicate them.
