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.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing COVID-19 Critical Skills Project

Skills Impact and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry Reference Committee have engaged with key industry stakeholders to draft a pharmaceutical manufacturing skill set. It has been developed in response to the Critical Skills For Recovery initiative, driven by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) and the AISC Emergency Response Sub-Committee.

The skill set describes the foundation skills and knowledge required by workers entering the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, especially those employed to work with bioprocessed products, such as vaccines and antibody testing devices.

The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Operator Induction Skill Set will be considered by the AISC Emergency Response Sub-Committee at their meeting on 16 September 2020.

If approved, this skill set and minor updates to the unit of competency for operating a pharmaceutical production process will be published within the FBP Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package.

Skills Impact Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation with a charitable purpose of Advancing Education. Skills Impact acknowledges the previous support of the Commonwealth which assisted in establishing this website.

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.
