Equine Safety in Training Project: Feedback Sought on Draft Components

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.

This project is underway to review occupational skills standards and units of competency to improve safety, quality and consistency in the delivery of equine training.

It will impact the ACM Animal Care and Management; AHC Agriculture, Horticulture, and Conservation and Land Management; AMP Australian Meat Processing; and RGR Racing Training Packages.

The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Expert Working Groups (view membership here) are currently seeking feedback on the content of 156 units of competency, including three proposed new units.

The draft units will be available on the Skills Impact website for stakeholder consultation until Friday 31 March.

A series of face-to-face workshops are being arranged for those who would like to provide feedback on the draft units in person. Please click here for further details and to register your interest for these free workshops.
