• Deliver better quality, higher level training which meets the needs of employers and students, supports
competitive industries, and is better matched to future jobs growth.
• Have greater transparency, so it is clear Government funds are being properly targeted to skills needs,
and employers and students can choose the training organisations which perform well and best meet
their needs.
• Be more efficient by ensuring investments in skills deliver the right skills to the economy at the right
time.
• Support equity through increased participation by groups not currently fully engaged in work and upskill
existing workers so they can stay engaged in employment as skills requirements change.
