Our Sectors

Impact on the economy

The finance, technology and business sectors are vital to economic prosperity and provide jobs for millions of Australians. That’s why we work with employers from all industries to grow the country’s pool of finance, technology and business talent.

Over 25% of existing Vocational Education Training (VET) packages are in finance, technology and business.

We ensure there are opportunities for everyone to access finance, technology and business skills, which are in high demand across the economy.

These skills include marketing, accounting, human resources, digital literacy, information and communications technologies and emerging areas like cyber security, financial technologies, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.

The finance, technology and business sectors are not only distinct industries but also vital components of every industry. They play a crucial role in driving the economy and providing well-paid jobs for millions of Australians.

Together, these three sectors account for more than 25% of the current vocational education training packages. We recognise the significance of these sectors. We are guided by leaders from across finance, technology and business, industry representatives from businesses of all sizes, and co-design change with training providers, government, unions and learners. We also work closely with other Jobs and Skills Councils who represent specific vertical industries.
