In this episode Claire discusses the Productivity Commission's Interim Report on the National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development. She outlines where it fits with the other recent reviews of the VET sector, as well as discussing the report's findings and the interim recommendations and options it proposes for future VET funding.

This report is a key part of the government's JobMaker plans for rebuilding the economy post-COVID so if you work in an RTO or dual-sector provider (public or private) it has direct relevance to your future operations.
