Abstract
In this section, we focus on the nature of skills development offered in formal public institutions. We draw from a separate project commissioned by the Department of Higher Education and Training, that is, an audit of Further Education and Training colleges. The first article highlights the current 'size and shape' of enrolments in this sector, which is expected to grow dramatically over the next decade. The second article focuses on governance and management challenges at different levels to identify policy recommendations.-
