Elysa Chen on Skills and Workforce Development Agency Bill
How will the new Skills and Workforce Development Agency move beyond reactive job-matching to play an anticipatory role in preparing training and transition pathways before major disruptions occur, such as through AI, demographic shifts or climate change? How will the agency evolve to support increasingly salient forms of work such as gig work, freelancing and informal caregiving? How will it work with the community to proactively identify and support workers “at the margins”, such as lower-income and older workers as well as caregivers? MP Elysa Chen asked these questions in parliament on Tuesday (May 5).
