QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the document, ‘Skilling WA - A workforce development plan for Western Australia’, and the short term priority action 4.1.2, Education and Training Pathways, The Department of Training and Workforce Development will publish and promote education and training pathways for targeted priority occupations and provide career advice on these occupations. This will be done in conjunction with industry, employer and registered training organisations, and I ask -
(1) How will the publishing and promotion of education and training pathways for targeted priority occupations differ from what was already in place?
(2) Have costings on this priority action been carried out?
(3) If yes to (2), how much are the costs involved?
(4) When will education and training pathways for targeted priority occupations be published and promoted?

(1) Currently, the Career Centre and a network of Workforce Development Centres across the State provide the public with advice on career options and pathways. The Department is working with stakeholders to develop specific information and training pathways for priority occupations listed on the State Priority Occupation List (SPOL).
(2) Priority Action 4.1.2 is part of the Department of Training and Workforce Development's core business. As such this work will be undertaken and funded through existing resources.
(3) See (2) above.
(4) A range of information is currently available in the 'Finding Out' section of the Career Centre area on the Department's website. The new pathways will be promoted by the Department through its Career Centre, Workforce Development Centres, website, schools, Training Councils, peak employer organisations and Registered Training Organisations in the next 12 months.
