The ‘Impact of COVID-19 on Industry Innovation and Need for Skills Report’ was produced by National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER).
Innovation can offer a pathway to economic recovery from COVID-19.
The VET sector could assist by providing training for new skills required to implement innovations. Most of the 21 interviewed businesses changed their usual operations in response to COVID-19 but training in new skills was generally not necessary.
Any training undertaken was short-term, unaccredited and internal. The VET sector requires structural changes to better serve industry during a crisis, including reducing course duration, focusing on skill sets rather than qualifications, online delivery where possible, and meeting skills needs in industries where VET has not been a traditional source of training.
