Over the past decade in Atlantic Canada, we have watched as our demographic situation has worsened due to a low birth rate, an aging population, outmigration of young people, and a growing dependency rate. We have also experienced significant growth in our major urban areas while rural parts of Atlantic Canada struggle. The two are not unrelated. For the first time in memory, many sectors of our economy began to experience both labour shortages, caused chiefly by the discrepancy between entrants to and retirees from the labour pool, and skill shortages, especially in those areas that are difficult to quantify, teach and assess – often referred to as soft, essential, employment, or 21st Century skills, among other descriptors.

Access to digital technology has demonstrated the ability to change learning in the workplace with easily available resources and flexibility through often self-paced learning environments, offering employees the ability to take control of their learning experiences. The scarce existing body of research suggests that “specialised” MOOCs may be an effective means of upskilling the workforce. Whilst MOOCs offer a convenient, scalable and cost-effective means for businesses looking to increase or update skills within their workforce, much uncertainty still exists about both Australian employers’ and employee perceptions and attitudes towards the use of MOOCs as a way of addressing the skills gaps. The aim of this study was to explore the potential for MOOCs in addressing the skills gaps in the Australian workforce through a systematic qualitative review of the literature. In total, 19 research and media articles were reviewed. Three major themes emerged: MOOCs and flexibility for learning, MOOCs for on-demand, lifelong learning in a rapidly changing workplace, and credentialing of MOOCs towards a formal qualification. This study aims to contribute to this growing area of research by exploring the extent to which MOOCs might help address skills shortages and upskill employees in an Australian context.

Yes, there are skills shortages, but a) not many think they are that significant, and big business thinks they’re better insulated than other companies in their sector. But compared to when the Canadian Council of CEO’s asked a similar (but ever so-slightly differently worded) question four years ago, the answers seem to be that skills shortages seem to have eased.
