The Digital Capability Training Product Trial (TPT) aims to fast-track industry-led, high-quality digital capability skills, including generalist AI and generalist cyber skills, to address Australia’s critical digital skills gap.

The objective of this project is to accelerate the development and delivery of high-quality, industry-led digital capability Units of Competency (UoC) – including generalist AI and generalist cyber skills – and supporting resources to address Australia’s critical digital skills gap.

In response to these challenges, the activity will design UoC that define essential digital skills across the economy and collaborate with partners to develop and deliver innovative training resources. Training products will be developed based on the DigComp 2.2 framework and tested through the new TPT approach in order to fast-track skills development.

The project will run in parallel with the Training Package Organisation Framework (TPOF) process to ensure alignment with national accreditation standards while enabling early testing and feedback.

The final accredited UoC will be housed within the BSB Training Package for broad cross-industry application.

Consultation with industry will inform the development of Digital Capability Proficiency Profiles. These profiles will utilise the outcomes of the UoCs developed to create industry informed profiles. The profiles will also inform critical aspects of this project (e.g. resources + delivery priority) and support the adoption of the final accredited training products.
