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.
The Australian Government has released a discussion paper calling for feedback on future arrangements for Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA).
All stakeholders, including those from state and territory governments, employer bodies, unions, tertiary providers and community organisations are encouraged to provide input.
Minister for Skills and Training, Brendan O’Connor MP, said Jobs and Skills Australia is a key priority of the Government and an important part of addressing national skills needs.
