Our Mission
Our mission is to address the skills needs across Australia’s finance, technology and business sectors.
We harness the full potential of the education and training system, leveraging its strengths to deliver impactful outcomes for learners.
By partnering with industry and training providers, we co-design innovative solutions that bridge skills gaps and create alternative pathways, thereby opening up opportunities for all Australians.
What we do

Workforce planning is a core responsibility. It provides the evidence base to understand current, emerging and future workforce challenges and opportunities and is used to drive our programme of activities.

We are responsible for maintaining the FNS, ICT and BSB training packages to ensure they are up to date and relevant.
Our approach to training product development is rooted in our Workforce Plan. We are creating training products that are responsive and adaptable to the evolving needs of the modern workforce and can be readily delivered by training providers.
To validate effectiveness, we pilot emerging products and test innovative approaches, driven by the requirements of industry.
-
We partner with training providers and organisations to align workforce planning objectives and national training products with careers advice and ‘on the ground’ training delivery.
-
We act as the voice of industry to drive skills needs back into the training and education system.
At the core of our approach lies active listening and comprehensive consultation, followed by prompt action.

Working with Jobs and Skills Australia
Jobs and Skills Australia works closely with JSCs to:
Support the effective operation of JSCs by providing baseline, whole-of-economy data and insights on current, emerging and future skills needs, including outputs from its workforce forecasting activities, as well as data on VET system activity and performance.
Integrate the sector-specific insights generated by JSCs into its analysis and advice, and rely on feedback from JSCs as key users to continuously improve its data products.
Work closely with relevant JSCs when tasked with conducting deep-dive capacity studies into priority sectors (such as the Clean Energy Workforce study currently underway).
