- W1953282 abstract "It is generally assumed in the Australian VET policy community that employer investment in skill development lags well behind that of our major trading partners and competitors and that investment is falling in real terms. Whilst the ABS training expenditure survey suggests that employer investment decreased in the mid-1990s, data from other sources produces a more complex picture of employer training in Australia. Data from the training practices survey, the survey of education and training experience and the business longitudinal survey together show that 80 per cent of Australians receive some form of training from their employers, between a third and half of Australians take part in formal, structured training in the workplace and that over 85 per cent of Australian enterprises employing 10 or more people provide training for their employees. There are a number of approaches that governments around the world, including in Australia, have taken towards to creating a climate that is more conducive to employer investment in skills development. These include voluntaristic approaches such as the Investors in People scheme in the UK, the creation of industry training funds such as those in the Netherlands and the imposition of employer levies. Often these schemes are tightly bound to the social, cultural and economic contexts of their countries making them difficult to reproduce. This paper will discuss some of the major international approaches that have been developed towards increasing employers’ investments in training and their successes and failures. Making employers pay: how do they do it overseas? The issue of improving employer investments in training has been the subject of an ongoing debate in Australia since before the introduction of the Training Guarantee Scheme (TGS) in 1990 and the findings of the first Employer Training Expenditure survey (ABS, 1991). This survey indicated that in 1990 Australian employers spent 2.6% of payroll costs on the training of their employees. However, in recent years, data suggests an apparent decline in training expenditure and in the hours of training provided to employees of Australian enterprises. In the wake of the abolition of the TGS have come claims that employers are reducing their commitment to training and that policies need to be devised to compel them to increase their investments in training (Hall, Buchanan and Considine, 2002). Similar calls have also been heard the UK where employers have been blamed for that country’s apparent poor record on employer training (Keep and Payne, 2002). However, it is by no means clear that Australian employers spend so much less than their counterparts in other developed nations as has been implied. Data from the European Union’s Continuing Vocational Training Survey (CVTS II) show that Australian employers’ expenditure on training lies towards the top end of the normal range of international comparisons at about 1-3 per cent of payroll costs. Table 1 combines data from CVTS II together with data from the American Society for Training and Development’s (ASTD) 2002 International Training Trends report and the ABS to yield a broad comparison of Australia’s training expenditure performance on CVT.
