Mark Lee on Skills and Workforce Development Agency Bill
The intention to create a more coordinated system that connects skills and jobs signals a shift towards a user-centric system, where support is organised around the journey of workers and the workforce needs of businesses, said NMP Mark Lee. Speaking in parliament on Tuesday (May 5), he pointed out that the key question is how this translates into a better experience for businesses. He wanted to know how the Skills and Workforce Development Agency intends to operationalise the user-centric model. Mr Lee also wanted to know whether the government would provide a clear transition assurance that existing schemes, pending applications and ongoing commitments will continue to be honoured under their current terms and timelines.
