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.

Australian Training Awards 2018

The Australian Training Awards dinner took place last week in Sydney. Congratulations to arboriculture student Amanda Woodhams who was runner up for Australian Apprentice (Trainee) of the Year. Amanda recently completed a Certificate III in Arboriculture and is now working towards her Diploma. Both these qualifications are currently being updated as part of the Arboriculture Project.

Amanda started her career as an actress, beginning her work with plants after volunteering on weekends at a community garden. While arboriculture is traditionally a male-dominated industry, Amanda suggests this is changing, acknowledging her teachers for supporting her point of view and skills in the classroom.

Other winners and finalists from industries we support:

Lachlan Darr – finalist for the School-based apprentice award
Integrating Training and Biodiversity Conservation Western Australia – winners of the Industry Collaboration Award
Wickham Flower – finalist Medium Employer of the Year
Wodonga Institute of TAFE – winner of Large Training Provider of the Year
Box HillInstitute Group – winner of International Training Provider of the Year
