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.

Green Walls and Rooftop Gardens Units and Skill Sets Available for Further Feedback

The Amenity Horticulture, Landscaping and Conservation and Land Management IRC reviewed draft recommendations from this project. Issues considered included the nature of the occupation and job roles, RTO delivery and the volume of learning in the units as designed.

After further consultation with industry experts, the IRC have decided that more work needs to be undertaken to better describe the skills being trained, ensure that learners have adequate opportunity to gain the require competencies and facilitate the ease of delivery.

Feedback is sought on key updates to the draft units AHCGRI501 Design Roof Gardens, Vertical Gardens and Green Walls and AHCGRI401 Construct Roof Gardens, Vertical Gardens and Green Walls. Updates have been made so that the different knowledge and skills required for design and construction of roof gardens compared to green walls and facades can adequately be covered. While this will result in two additional units being developed, each of those units will better match the volume of learning required for the job functions and aid the ability of learners to safely deliver products to consumers.
