Abstract

Major concerns have been raised about the training reforms currently being implemented by the Australian government. This article draws on a survey of users of the national training system in Australia to outline the problems that have emerged and to recommend changes to existing implementation arrangements. In general terms, the ‘top‐down’, centrally driven bureaucratic processes are generating strong dissatisfaction among employers, the major clients of the training system. For the training reforms to work effectively in the workplace, business needs to have a much greater capacity to influence how resources are allocated as well as a greater say in how the overall frame work should work. 1994 Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI)
