Skills system responsiveness

Development of a system of micro-credential training and recognition will enable the responsiveness of the skills system that is needed to support a modernised manufacturing workforce.

Skills response recommendation

To enable a responsive skills system, governments, industry and the training sector should develop a system of micro-credential training and recognition in manufacturing related areas to:

  • Provide employers with confidence that an individual is competent in the skills covered by the micro-credential
  • Allow micro-credentials to be recognised across industry and easily incorporated into broader qualifications
  • Encourage individuals to continue to build their skills efficiently and without unnecessary duplication of effort and cost
