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.

Do draft agronomy skills standards meet industry needs?

Practical skills in agronomy are in demand to help farmers and growers get the most out of the land. To support this, draft skills standards have been developed focusing on the hands-on skills needed to work with emerging technology; plan for, capture and interpret data; and conserve natural resources.

Feedback received on the initial drafts has been considered in redrafted versions of the units, skill set and qualification.

These final drafts are now available for review and comment to make sure they accurately reflect job roles and industry needs.

To provide feedback, visit the project page.
