Funded Activity Summary

Redefining the Ageing Workforce in Local Governments: Mapping Aspirations of Older/Blue Collar Workers with Organisational Training and Development Interventions. The major aim is to understand the aspirations of older, blue collar workers and have them remain active and productive in the workforce in the face of a changing occupational structure in local government, especially in rural and remote areas. This project is significant as it addresses two national research priorities - ageing productively and strengthening Australia's social and economic fabric. Expected outcomes include developing a methodology to 'map' worker aspirations, dispositions and competencies; provision of a model for designing new/alternative job types; guidelines for implementing changes to workforce planning and empirical data on which to base policy/workforce change.
