The Australia Bureau of Statistics has reported that over the past decade nationally, there has been a 10 per cent growth of people aged 25-64 with a higher education qualification. The demand on institutions has never been greater. A key determinant of regional economic development is the knowledge and skills with which people contribute to society and the economy. Despite this significant growth, the availability of skilled workers is a key regional development issue. With the pending retirement of the baby boomer generation, the development of regional and rural individuals is a critical part of addressing anticipated regional labour shortages.
