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.

Capturing Food & Beverage Processing Skills Needs

Skills developments in the food and beverage industry over the past decade have been captured in draft skills standards and qualifications.

They have been reviewed with industry experts and drafts are now available for you to feedback on.

With consumers wanting to know more about the origins, ingredients and packaging of food products, the food and beverage processing industry has developed innovations for improving tracability, controlling potential contaminants and further automating its processes.

Units of competency across 12 sub-sectors have been reviewed and a new sector created for oil refining. Five qualifications have been streamlined into two, and new units and skill sets developed to support skills in non-alcoholic beverage production, dairy processing, allergens, traceability, and general operational sectors.

Note for RTOs

Many trainers have been asking why qualifications still contain the old FDF units. A project is underway to update these to the revised FBP units. Click through to read more and be involved in this process.
