    Investment in new skills and higher learning

    What we collect

    This indicator tracks the amount of annual investments by public and private interests in new skills and higher learning.

    Why we collect it

    Education and skills development are key drivers of prosperous economies and the workers that populate them. Work forces possessing sough-after skills and educational credentials are better positioned to meet the demands of both regional and remote economies. Monitoring this indicator will gauge our success in funding our workers' development and the economy they drive.

    Unfortunately we have not yet been able to find data for this indicator. The ICSP is a living document that relies on input from the community to continue to grow. We welcome any suggestions on data sources for this indicator, new ways to define the indicator that would be more measurable, or suggestions for alternative indicators for this focus area.
