Hi Colleen,
As far as I know the answer to your question is No, unfortunately not.

I am aware that there is an article on this question being prepared at the skills portal for publishing on that site.

I will alert all skills-universe members with the URL as soon as it is published.

Hi John,
Now I see what Bernard means, that really is an excellent contribution. Thank you for your time and trouble.

And you have given me more fuel to add to a conclusion I have already identified and written up. So I am most grateful for that.

Hi members,
I’m creating a chronological table of significant skills development events to include in my thesis.

Appreciate your ideas.

Another must attend REAL seminar –
Dr Leslie Powell – covering NSPS.
A new acronym for you? National Skills Planning System.

Attend to hear about theories of plannning.
