Workforce Council

Free Workforce Planning presentation by Professor Ewart Keep

The Health and Community Services Workforce Council is pleased to present a free presentation by Professor Ewart Keep on Monday 27 June at the Kedron Wavell Services Club, Chermside. 

Ewart Keep is the Deputy Director of the Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE) in the United Kingdom, and is based at Cardiff University's School of Social Sciences. 

His research interests include: 

• lifelong learning policy
• learning organisations
• training for low paid workers
• the design and management of education and training systems
• employers' attitudes towards skills and what shape these
• recruitment and selection activity
• how governments formulate skills policy
• higher education policy and the nature of the linkages between skills and performance (broadly defined). 

Professor Keep is currently working on the role of recruitment and selection as a source of skills and the feedback signals that employers' patterns of recruitment send to the learner; future research priorities in the field of Education & Training, and how English policy makers conceive of skills policy and its linkages to other policy domains.
