The Institute is committed to sharing and using evidence to create a collective understanding, guide local and statewide workforce planning and development efforts and create a clear picture of the education and care workforce and operating context.
In workforce planning, data serves as an essential tool alongside other evidence such as intelligence from the workforce itself, for transforming information into strategy. Leveraging demographic, sector, and workforce data allows planning processes to generate deep insights into current and future workforce needs.
Workforce Intelligence Profiles
This page provides regional and statewide workforce intelligence profiles of the education and care service context including population growth, service capacity, workforce context and quality ratings. They include interactive features that allow you to explore the data in greater depth.
Used well, these profiles do more than present information. They help build confidence in interpreting data, support stronger regional conversations and collaboration, and contribute to capability building across the sector by connecting people with the evidence. The profiles move beyond the statewide picture bringing together different available data sets to provide a place-based view of how demand, supply and quality are shifting in different parts of Queensland.
