DFEEST’s vision is for South Australia to have the best workforce in Australia.
To help achieve this vision, the DFEEST Strategic Plan 2010-14 maps out seven clear goals which we will develop with our partners over the next five years.
Goal 1: Exemplary workforce planning and development
Goal 2: Strong industry partnerships
Goal 3: High levels of participation and achievement in learning and work
Goal 4: Excellence in tertiary education and training
Goal 5: World competitive research, technology and innovation
Goal 6: Skills and technology for the State's environmental sustainability
Goal 7: DFEEST is a high performance organisation
These goals are aligned with the overarching strategy for South Australia, which is covered by South Australia’s Strategic Plan (SASP), the blueprint for the State’s development and wellbeing, guiding Government decisions on direction and investment.
SASP is underpinned by a number of strategic directions and documents addressing important issues that also inform the DFEEST Plan including: Skills for All, the 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide, the Information Economy Agenda along with plans and strategies for achieving improvements in economic and social wellbeing, environmental sustainability and outcomes for Aboriginal people.
