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.

Draft IRC Skills Forecasts for 2019-2020 will become available for viewing on our website during March.

We will be seeking your feedback on the priority skills areas that have been outlined in each document.

Skills Forecasts describe industry trends, opportunities, challenges, and identify skills gaps and emerging skills needs. They propose a four year plan for reviewing and developing relevant units, skill sets and qualifications across the training packages. The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) draws on this information to update their AISC National Schedule, and to determine future Training Package Projects.

A Skills Forecast is being drafted for each industry Training Package we support.

The information in Skills Forecasts has been gathered over the past 12 months – from site visits, meetings, phone conversations and emails. Thank you to those of you who have been generous with your time supporting the Skills Forecast process and improvement to skills standards in your industries.
