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.

New Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing Project

By harnessing living organisms in the making of pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical bioprocessing techniques are making it possible to develop treatments for a range of conditions.

Workers in this field require unique skills to manufacture and distribute products, as working with bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells means there are many variables to consider. Compliance with quality control measures is of the utmost importance to ensure products remain stable and effective to use. At the same time, analytical skills are needed to work with cutting edge equipment and interpret data.

At present there are no nationally endorsed units of competency available for this growing area of pharmaceutical processing and manufacture. Consultation with industry will continue throughout this project to identify the skills required to work in this field and address these skills in revised or new units of comeptency.

A project page has been published with more information and opportunities to get involved.
