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.

Pet Care & Animal Training Skills Standards Being Finalised

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this project, we are now a lot closer to updated skills standards and qualifications being available for a range of job roles across animal care, training, grooming, retail, regulation and animal-assisted services.

The skills standards will support the pet care and animal training industry as it adapts to demand for services and products to care for Australian pets and assistance animals.

The final draft skills standards and qualifications are currently in the finalisation stage, involving an independent edit and equity and independent quality assurance process, consideration by the State/Territory Training Authorities (STAs/TTAs), and submission to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) and State and Territory Ministers for endorsement.
