Forest Harvesting Optimisation Project: Validation Sought on Final Drafts

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.

Final draft units of competency are now available for industry validation.

Validation means checking and confirming that the units are logical and factually accurate. We are seeking your views on whether the final draft units reflect the current occupational skill standards and needs of industry. The consultation period for these final drafts will be open for two weeks, until Friday 11 August.

Thank you to everybody who provided feedback on the drafts which were made available on the website between 2 June – 30 July. A summary of the feedback that was received and a description of its consideration and application in these final drafts can be downloaded from the website.

You are welcome to provide validation on as many of the final draft units as you would like. Please also feel free to share these with others who may be interested in providing validation.

Once industry has validated all final drafts they will be submitted to the Forest Management and Harvesting Industry Reference Committee (IRC) for sign off. After final quality assurance of the drafts, they will be submitted to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) to consider and approve for publication on training.gov.au.
