Ag Future Jobs Forum: Invitation to Attend

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.

We would like to invite you to attend the Skills Impact Ag Future Jobs Forum, on National Agriculture Day (AgDay).

Do you have insight on what ag jobs look like in the future?

Join us to discuss the current and future job and workforce needs of the agriculture industry. This forum will focus on industry drivers and their impact on the skills needs of workers at all levels.

How will your attendance contribute to industry?

Your feedback will help us to update the IRC Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work. This is the key document that informs the government of priority skill needs and seeks funding for projects to review and develop qualifications, skill sets and units of competency. To see an example of current projects that received funding out of last year’s IRC Skills Forecast, click here.

Your feedback will also inform Skills Impact’s submission to the Senate inquiry into the Future of Work and the Future of Workers, to ensure the inquiry receives information about future jobs in the agriculture and related sectors.

Date: Tue 21 Nov
(Afternoon tea will be provided)

Time: 2pm – 4pm

Cost: Free

Venue:
The Canberra Club
51 Blackall St
Barton ACT
