Quantitative skills in the workplace

Before Christmas, the Office of the Chief Scientist released the reports from the Quantitative Skills in 21st Century Workplaces project which was undertaken by AAMT with the Australian Industry Group.

These reports are available on the AAMT website, but of particular interest might be the Quantitative Skills Map which identifies the actual mathematics involved in the workplaces investigated.
