Workforce futures planning

You may ask why attracting, securing and retaining talent is so important.

With skills shortages affecting almost every sector of the transport, logistics and supply chain industry, now more than ever, having the right people in the right place at the right time, with the right skills, is critical to business success.

In 2008 more Australians exited the workforce than entered it, and by 2020 it is estimated there will be 500,000 jobs without people to fill them.

Transform's work is critical as the industry experiences rapid growth and challenges in securing a capable and sustainable workforce in an environment of continuing labour and skills shortages. Our work is underpinned by Workforce Futures 2012 (PDF, 1.1 MB) - a state-wide industry framework that focuses on building workforce capability.
