Australia’s future depends on strong partnerships. Enterprises, educators and the community, working together, improve the quality and capacity of our education
systems and the innovation, breadth and competitiveness of our economy. These linkages are crucial if we are to succeed in meeting the challenges and opportunities
presented by rapidly changing global realities.
Whatever policy and funding arrangements are in place, synergistic partnerships between industry, community, educators and researchers need to be enabled. Ideally,
those partnerships will be deep and broad. They will draw on and leverage each partner’s expertise and strength, while respecting the different mission and value
each brings to the partnership – and to the nation as a whole - shaping our future prospects.
