Abstract
This chapter1 identifies innovative industries and firms in Australia, examines the role of vocational education and training (VET)-skilled occupations2 in the innovation process in these firms, identifies the methods they use to recruit and train for these occupations, and evaluates how effectively VET providers meet the training needs of such firms. These issues were investigated using a broad range of economic and labour market data. A comprehensive literature review and eight case studies of innovation-intensive firms which have a high proportion of VET-skilled occupations in their workforce were also undertaken.
