Trade union training: reshaping the Australian industrial landscape

该项目旨在调查工会培训在发展澳大利亚劳动力能力方面的有效性。在早期形式的工会培训的基础上，政府资助的工会培训局(TUTA)提供了课程(从1975年至1996年)，以提高工会官员的技能，并为继续教育奠定基础。该项目将利用广泛的档案和口述历史资料来调查图塔人的起源、发展、培训做法以及对个人和工作场所的影响。好处包括更好地了解工业、教育和培训系统。来自该项目的见解可以为劳动力市场在一个更加不确定和放松监管的劳动力市场中发展劳动力的挑战提供信息。

This project aims to investigate the effectiveness of trade union training in developing the capacity of the Australian workforce. Building on earlier forms of union training, the government-funded Trade Union Training Authority (TUTA) provided courses (from 1975 to 1996) to enhance the skills of union officials and lay foundations for further education. This project will draw on extensive archival and oral history sources to investigate TUTA’s origins, development, training practices and impact on individuals and workplaces. The benefits include better understanding of industrial, education and training systems. Insights from the project can inform the challenge of workforce development in a more uncertain and deregulated labour market.
