FSO Engagement Network
Meet our industry and education experts
We're driven by a community of experts who work in or support the finance, technology and business sectors. It's called the FSO Engagement Network. There are 64 members and over 2,000 collaborators.
Drawing on the best expertise, we bring the right people together to provide strategic guidance, industry insights and advice on workforce-related matters. The engagement network also provides recommendations and assists with co-designing and delivering projects.
The engagement network includes diverse representation across industry, unions, government and training providers. We will continue to review and evolve the network representatives. If you have feedback or questions, please contact us here.

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.
