Since there is little research on embedding in workplace basic education, this paper tries to offer a useful way of thinking about the concept of embedded workplace Literacy and Essential Skills (LES) in general. It is structured around the idea that we can distinguish a range of “model” approaches to embedded workplace LES in practice, and that these models can help us understand both the challenges and potential benefits of each.

With government aware that the UK economy has relatively low skill levels compared to other OECD countries, boosting the supply of skills has long dominated UK economic policy. New thinking rejects static notions of equilibria and centres on the concept of 'skill ecosystems', which are akin to dynamic living organisms with interconnected parts, actions and needs. In this chapter, the authors outline this shift in thinking and indicate how the concept has been lost in its translation into policy initiatives. They then re-present the concept so that understanding of it and its relevance to the new economic thinking is clearer.

The report presents the employment situation of international graduates, post-graduation mobility trends, the challenges and experiences of transition from higher education to the world of work along with employers' views on hiring and working with international graduates. It also discovers the factors affecting the employment of international graduates and explores the relevance of the skills gained in the course of studies for the world of work as perceived by international graduates and their employers. The findings of the study will be useful for university administrators involved in the international marketing process, current prospective international students and graduates, policy makers and other experts working with the issues of international education and employment.

The paper analyzes how the concept of negative knowledge contributes to the understanding of professionals’ expert practice and learning. Negative knowledge is experientially acquired knowledge about what is wrong and what is to be avoided during performance in a given work situation. During routine actions, negative knowledge enhances professionals’ certainty of how to proceed and increases the efficacy through the avoidance of impasses and suboptimal problem-solving strategies. The potential of negative knowledge for the investigation of professional learning is discussed through reference to recent empirical work.

Economic modelling which draws out the skills implications of a range of scenarios. The modelling examines both the demand for post-school qualifications (demand by industry) and the supply of new post-school qualifications (completions by domestic students and those provided through net migration). The modelling is conducted at both the national level and for each State/Territory with the focus of results in this report at the national level. The projections in this report are a reflection of the assumptions made for each of the scenarios. The data presented over the period 2010 to 2025 should not be considered forecasts. Rather, they should be viewed as projections and considered with regards to the assumptions described in this report.
