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 Projects Approved for Forest and Timber Industry

We are excited about working with industry and IRCs on a new round of projects in the forestry and wood product industry. The three new projects approved by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee, will focus on the following solutions to current skills needs:

Review Qualifications to Attract New Entrants – a revision of entry level qualifications so they can be delivered in a school environment.
Review of High-Level Jobs in Forestry – a comprehensive analysis of skills and knowledge required by foresters to manage public and private forests, including review of three high level qualifications and 52 units of competency.
Safety Mindsets in Remote Operations – the proposed development of a skill set and up to two new units of competency for operators, relating to shaping and sustaining safety culture and practices whilst working in remote high-risk operations.

There will be opportunities to feedback throughout the duration of each project. Details will be shared through this newsletter. Please feel free to pass on this information to colleagues. You are also welcome to contact us about the projects.

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.
