New Projects Being Planned and Scoped

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.

Are you passionate about supporting future learners to gain the skills they need to succeed in your industry? Opportunities to have your say on the skills standards for a range of industry sectors will be available as part of new projects for 2021-22. We are excited about working with industry and Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) on these projects.

Project webpages will become available in upcoming weeks as each project is scoped and planned.
