The Draft Operating Framework for Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) was recently released at a meeting of the Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) and Chairs of the IRCs. Click here to download the Draft IRC Operating Framework.
Several documents were presented on the Government’s changes in the way in which training packages (units of competency and qualifications) are developed and the process by which industry can be involved.
Under the new system, which is in the process of being established, IRCs are at the heart of the process, and these are formed based on standing committees from last year’s Industry Skills Councils, which are no longer funded.
