The Job Guarantee provides a platform for developing the national skills base, by comparing the observed skills and competencies of the Job Guarantee workforce with the emerging skills requirements of each regional labour market. This would inform the provision of accredited training (both in-house and via external providers such as TAFE), the indenturing of apprentices, and the design of job guarantee activities so that they include experiential development of skills expected to be in local demand. In this way the Job Guarantee would restore the role of the public sector as a net trainer of skilled workers, minimising the likelihood of inflationary bottle-necks in the labour supply.
