Australian Industry and Skills Committee Communique

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.

The AISC has published a communique from their meetings on the 25th and 26th of February. One of the key themes the AISC focused on over the two meetings was continuous improvement, which includes the ongoing work on further streamlining the training product development system, including the AISC’s processes. The AISC is also focused on creating stronger alignment between training packages and current and emerging job roles, job families and career pathways.

At their meetings, the AISC approved three new training package projects for the agriculture and horticulture industry, and timber and forestry industry for 2019-20.
