Multinational corporations are significant in the global economy, and increasingly important to national economies. Based on a literature review and 12 case studies of multinational corporations operating in Australia, the study finds the quality of the domestic VET-skilled workforce is ranked equal third in importance, out of fifteen factors, when deciding to invest in Australia. To make the VET system more attractive to foreign investment, the multinational corporations in the case studies recommended better overseas publicity of the training system, and improvements to literacy, numeracy and production knowledge of lower-level workers in manufacturing. Research instruments are appended. (Contains 7 tables and 1 figure.).
