Escan 2011

IBSA's Environment Scan (Escan) 2011 has commenced.  The Escan underpins our advice to governments and other stakeholders on skills and workforce development issues across our six industry sectors; Business Services, Cultural and Related Industries, Financial Services, Education, Information and Communications Technologies and Printing and Graphic Arts.

Escan 2011 is a detailed, evidence-driven report, which presents qualitative and quantitative analysis of the skills in demand data and information within the context of the broad social, demographic, technological, economic and labour market environments.  It analyses change, evolving trends and new factors influencing workforce development, including emerging cross-industry issues.  

Escan 2011 addresses the following key areas:

• skills and workforce development priorities for IBSA’s six industry sectors
• priorities for Training Packages continuous improvement activities, and
• apparent or emerging skills issues at the sector and cross sectoral levels.
