People, enterprises and destinations with the right skills mix can share in the potential economic benefits. Jobs which provide opportunities to gain experience, up-skill and move into higher level positions promote economic mobility and lead to better outcomes for people. Workforce development initiatives that specifically target existing workers often aim to promote employment sustainability and career progression for low paid workers which better meet industry needs (Froy and Giguere, 2010). High skilled workers have access to more jobs as well as better quality jobs, while the opposite is true for both youth and low skilled workers across all three dimensions of job quality (earnings, labour market security and quality of working environment).
