The Parliament of Victoria has referred to the Education and Training Committee a reference for inquiry, consideration and report no later than 31 December 2009 on skills shortages in the rail industry, in particular:

  1. factors influencing recruitment and retention;
  2. demographic profile of the workforce and the outlook for future retirements and loss of skills;
  3. implications of the Victorian Industry and Manufacturing Statement commitment in relation to local content; and
  4. whether there is any need for increased training opportunities at university and trade levels and, if so, how industry can stimulate student/user demand.

 

On 24 November 2009, the Legislative Assembly agreed to extend the reporting date for the inquiry until 30 April 2010.
