Overview
Project status: In progress
Australian and state governments have adopted public private partnerships as a means of providing education systems that meet the long term knowledge and skill requirements for key industries of the Australian economy.
Identifying the elements of industry school partnerships that enhance educational and economic outcomes will connect students in urban and regional communities to knowledge networks, access to which is essential for a competitive Australian economy.
To support this large investment and innovation, policy recommendations and theoretically informed partnership models resulting from the project will contribute to national economic productivity by enhancing the growth and sustainability of communities hosting partnerships.
