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 Structure Proposed for Agriculture, Horticulture, Conservation and Land Management Skills Committee

The Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) is seeking further feedback on the proposed structure of the Industry Reference Committee (IRC) for Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation and Land Management industries.

It follows feedback late last year, during the first round of consultation, that these industries be supported by two committees:

Amenity Horticulture, Landscaping, Conservation and Land Management IRC, and
Agriculture IRC (encompassing agriculture and production horticulture)

Currently, the Rural and Related Industries IRC is responsible for overseeing the development of occupational skills standards, and qualifications for these industries.

Feedback from the initial consultation process also suggested that arboriculture qualifications and units be placed under the oversight of the Forest Management and Harvesting IRC which now includes a designated position for Arboriculture Australia.

A modified proposal has been developed and is available for a second round of consultation and feedback.

The AISC is seeking industry feedback until COB Tuesday 14 February 2017.

Skills Impact acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have been living in and caring for Australia for tens of thousands of years, and this is respected in line with Skills Impact values. We recognise the challenges involved for people who are not related to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders to understand the importance of their connection to Country. Skills Impact seeks and relies on guidance from Indigenous people in our work.
