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.

Australian pet owners are becoming more invested in keeping their pets happy and healthy, which is driving an expanding market of pet products and services. It is also increasing the need for more skilled workers in pet grooming, animal health care, animal training, assistance animals, companion and therapy animals, and regulation.

Draft units, skill sets and qualifications that capture skills required for working with animals in a range of settings are now available for feedback on the project webpage for feedback.

Industry experts have led the review and the redesign of the documents so that they better address foundational skills while still offering options to specialise.

Prefer to provide feedback face-to-face?

There is also the opportunity to register for a consultation workshop or webinar to discuss the drafts with the project team.

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.
