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.

Thanks to all those who contributed to this project, the skills required to care for some of the world’s most rare and vulnerable animals have been described in draft units, skill sets, and qualifications.

As part of the final review process, the IRC has identified the need for further consultation to take place regarding the 240 hours of mandated work placement refered to in the Certificate III in Wildlife and Exhibited Animal Care and two units.

The draft qualification and units have been considered by Subject Matter Experts and are now available for broad stakeholder feedback.

The drafts have been updated to strengthen performance evidence and assessment conditions, and to remove the 240 hours of work palcement. Industry advice is sought about this alternative approach to supporting the hands on skills required.

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.
