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.

Water Allocation & Entitlements Skills Project Being Finalised

Unique skills are required by Australian farmers and irrigators to effectively work with Australia’s various water markets.

Consultation has taken place throughout this project to develop national skills standards to support the skills farmers and those with water entitlements require to correctly engage with water trading processes, including the purchase and selling of water, navigating carry over water or continuous accounting options and how to procure, receive and monitor water.

Your feedback to date has indicated minor changes are required to the draft units to better reflect job functions. Skill sets have been developed to support agricultural managers and workers to operate in Australia’s water markets.

The validation stage of this project has been completed and it will soon move on to the finalisation stage.
