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.

Draft Skills Standards for Australian Native and Bush Food Available for Feedback

Unique skills are required for cultivating, harvesting, processing and promoting Australian native and bush foods. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been cultivating and consuming Australian native foods for tens of thousands of years and play an important role in this rapidly growing activity and industry.

A draft skill set has been developed to capture the skills required to establish an Australian native and bush food business. It is intended to support the establishment of Australian native or bush food businesses, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander enterprises.

Input is invited to check that the skill set captures the requisite skills and is appropriate for the work it describes. Feedback is also welcomed about whether an additional skill set or skill sets are required.

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

Register for a webinar

There is an opportunity to register for a consultation webinar, where you will have the opportunity to discuss the skill set with the project team and other individuals from your industry. The webinar will be held on Tuesday 23 November 2021 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm.

Skills Impact Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation with a charitable purpose of Advancing Education. Skills Impact acknowledges the previous support of the Commonwealth which assisted in establishing this website.

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. We recognise the challenges involved for people who are not related to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders to understand the importance of their connection to Country. Skills Impact seeks and relies on guidance from Indigenous people in our work.
