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.

Final Draft Skills Standards For Horse Care Available for Validation

Many kinds of workers are involved in caring for horses, with varied career paths across the industry. Unique expertise is required to fit saddles, advise on nutrition and carry out the day to day care of horses. Each service plays an important role in promoting and maintaining the welfare of horses.

Updated draft qualifications, skill sets and units for a range of horse care roles are now available for validation and further comment.

Your feedback and expertise is needed to check that the documents reflect real work practices and the skills required of job roles involved in the care of horses.
