The following projects are underway to review and update industry units of competency, skill sets and qualifications, for use by industry and the vocational training and education sector. The Government allocates projects to Industry Reference Committees, based on advice in the annual IRC Skills Forecasts and Proposed Schedules of Work. On behalf of the IRCs, Skills Impact manages the projects.
New Projects Commenced
Forest, Timber and Pulp & Paper Industries
The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) has commissioned the following three new projects:
- Cross Laminated Timber Building Systems Project
- Paper and Pulp Manufacturing Safety Compliance Project
- Prefabricated Building Systems Project
Technical Advisory Committees are being established for each project, to provide technical input to the review and development of units of competency. If you are interested in applying to be a technical expert for any of these projects and are able to volunteer your time, please email details of your expertise to the relevant Project Manager (Please see details on the project webpage).
Broad industry consultation is scheduled to commence in February and March for each of these new projects. Please visit the project webpages by following the links above and register your interest to keep up-to-date on project activities.
