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.

Ag & Horticulture Core Skills Qualifications and Units Available for Validation

Australia’s agriculture and horticulture industry relies on core skills in work health and safety, environmental practices, quality assurance procedures, workplace recording and related infrastructure skills. Skills to coordinate and facilitate community groups are also required.

Your feedback on draft qualifications, skill set and units has been used to inform further updates to the drafts, which are now available for validation and further comment.

They have been updated so that they more accurately reflect job roles and functions and so that they can be accessed by learners with the appropriate skill level.

For more information and to provide validation, visit the project page.

Online consultation sessions

There is an opportunity to register for an online consultation session, where you will have the opportunity to discuss the qualifications, skill set and units with the project team and other individuals from your industry. Please register below.

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.

Skills Impact seeks and relies on guidance from Indigenous people in our work.
