(Extract from OECD news item ) 

"The report covers range of issues from vocational educational and training - VET - , to regional  Councils, regional employment and holds the strong position that ' regional employment is were the rubber hits the road ' for jobs and community growth ... the report is well work a read and  provides lots of opportunities to use the references from 37 counties, including the Asia Pacific Region. This of course also means there is a need for more local government services in our communities, to support the jobs growth and provide the services to the communities as the communities grow" Greg McLean
