Skills in the Workplace can help you get government subsidised training for your workforce. But first you need to assess what skills your employees have – and what skills they need.

Training needs analysis and the Employer Resource Kit

A Training needs analysis can identify what skills your employees have and just as importantly, what skills they need.

The size of your operation and the level of your workforce planning will determine how much of a formality this is. Small operations might find the Employer Resource Kit helpful.

This user-friendly guide to workforce planning has a series of assessment templates including: 

  • Current Workforce Profile Template 
  • Current Workforce Skills Template 
  • Future Workforce Profile Template 
  • Future Workforce Skills Template 
  • Staff Member Learning and Development Plan 
  • Workforce Plan, and a
  • Workforce Skills Checklist. 

Download the Employer Resource Kit or use the parts you need.  Or call the Infoline if you'd like a copy posted to you.

Skills in the Workplace

Skills in the Workplace provides funding to organisations that want to skill or retrain their workforce.

To be part of the program, an organisation has to demonstrate workforce planning, showing what skills employees currently have and what skills the organisation would like them to learn.
