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.

IRC Skills Forecasts & Proposed Schedules of Work

Thank you to those who provided feedback on this year’s draft documents. The final documents, that were submitted to the AISC, can be viewed on the Skills Impact website here.

On behalf of the 11 Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) Skills Impact supports, we have completed work on 8 2017 IRC Skills Forecasts and Proposed Schedules of Work. These documents are reviewed annually by the IRCs, undergo consultation with industry and submitted to the Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) in April.

The documents identify skills gaps and emerging skills needs within industry and determine whether there is a need to change training packages (i.e. units of competency and qualifications). The AISC draws on this information to update their AISC National Schedule, and to determine future Training Package Projects.

On behalf of the IRCs, Skills Impact will continue to receive feedback on these Skill Forecasts and any feedback received will be incorporated into the next edition. Please feel free to email any comments or feedback you have about the current documents to [email protected] so this information can be considered in the 2018 drafts.

Skills Impact Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation with a charitable purpose of Advancing Education. Skills Impact acknowledges the previous support of the Commonwealth which assisted in establishing this website.

Skills Impact acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have been living in and caring for Australia for tens of thousands of years, and this is respected in line with Skills Impact values. We recognise the challenges involved for people who are not related to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders to understand the importance of their connection to Country. Skills Impact seeks and relies on guidance from Indigenous people in our work.
