This is clearly important when resources are scare but it is also worth looking at how training can service employers operating at the “lower end” of the labour market. This means providing greater opportunities for modular and part-time training, which balances competing demands on individuals for work and family. Modular training involves self-contained units that can be stacked against each other to complete a qualification. Part-time training involves mixing the use of evening training as well as the block release of apprenticeships for the off-the-job training portion of their framework.
