Regional actors are well placed to identify local strengths and weaknesses and can bring together key players such as industry, research institutes and educational facilities to provide appropriate responses. The State of New South Wales has been a leader in this field (see BVET, 2009). In 2005, the NSW Board of Vocational Education and Training (BVET) commissioned research on the skills required for sustainable business development, which informed the release of the first edition of Skills for Sustainability in 2007.
