Every two months the AISC meet to discuss issues affecting the vocational education and training (VET) sector and approve training packages for implementation. At their 23rd meeting on Tuesday 4 December the committee approved the Case for Endorsement for Forest and Wood Products, and Animal Care and Management – Cert IV in veterinary nursing (the diploma has been referred to the IRC). These Cases for Endorsement related to qualifications, skill sets and units developed out of the Prefabricated Building Systems, Cross Laminated Timber and Veterinary Nursing projects. They also noted Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s announcement of a review into Australia’s vocational education and training system.
Our Role Establishing Skills Insight JSC
Skills Impact held a Skills Service Organisation (SSO) role between 2016 and 2022. In 2023 we established one of ten Job and Skills Councils (JSCs), after a submission to move into the role was backed by over 200 letters of support from a broad range of industry stakeholders. This new JSC, Skills Insight, has a broader scope to deliver outcomes that support a responsive VET system and a skilled and resilient national workforce. The industry coverage of Skills Insight is similar to our past coverage as a Skills Service Organisation.
