The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) has established a Digital Transformation Expert Panel to provide advice on how the VET system can most effectively respond to digital change across industry and its impact on the nation’s workforce.
The Panel is approaching this work through the lens of Australia’s existing workers and their need to upskill and reskill in response to digital transformation. They will submit a Digital Transformation Skills Strategy to the AISC for consideration at the end of 2020.
The Panel has released an online Discussion Paper which canvasses views on five key areas of focus: training products, teaching and learning, learner support mechanisms, industry leadership and system settings.
The discussion paper is available for comment until 9 October 2020.
