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.

In-Person Validation Meeting for the Respect for Country Job Skills Project

Project partners from various regions of Australia travelled to Karuna Country (Adelaide) for the Respect for Country Job Skills Project validation meeting this week.

The meeting commenced with an Acknowledgement to Country from Aboriginal Education Manager, TAFE NSW, Roy Clifford, followed by a presentation from Skills Impact Project Manager, Michelle Ingley-Smith.

Those involved in the validation meeting reviewed draft qualifications, skill sets and units of competency and the feedback provided on them, to ensure that they were accurate and reflected the project intent.

The Respect for Country Job Skills project is being led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander project partners to update national qualifications and skills standards so that they reflect the importance of culture, protocols, skills and knowledge.

The project will help recognise the skills required for working On Country, including Cultural Sites work. Skills for protecting culture and Country are paramount to job roles and for working alongside and within communities.
