A Business Case for a
National Future Skills Academy
Industries across Australia are under increasing pressure to find workers with the right skills for a changing world
From agriculture and construction to technology and manufacturing, businesses are struggling to keep pace with rapid technological change, evolving job roles, and access to quality training—particularly in regional areas.
The National Future Skills Academy (NFSA) is a proposed concept aimed at addressing these challenges. A new Preliminary Business Case, developed by AgriBusiness Connect with support from the Queensland Government’s Ignite Ideas Fund, explores the idea of a national-scale response to the widening skills gap—and outlines a set of models and design principles that could help close it.
