What is a Jobs and Skills Council?

A JSC is a not-for-profit company that is industry-owned and industry-led

• We bring together employers, unions and governments in a tripartite arrangement to find solutions to skills and workforce challenges.

​

​

• We are funded by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR)
• We are one of 10 JSCs established to represent and champion in demand sectors.

• We provide industry with a stronger voice to ensure Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) sector delivers better outcomes for learners and employers.

​

The Role of JSCs

​

Workforce Planning

We identify, forecast, and respond to current, emerging, and future workforce challenges and opportunities within our sectors. This function forms the foundation of our activities.

​

Training Product Development

We develop responsive and flexible training products that meet industry requirements.

We pilot emerging training products and test innovative approaches to meet the needs of RTOs, industry, and learners.

​

Implementation, Promotion �& Monitoring

We partner with training providers and employers to promote and monitor the impact of training product development and implementation, focusing on meeting the needs of our industries.

​

Industry Stewardship

We serve as a source of intelligence on workforce issues, providing strategic advice on skills and workforce needs within the sectors we represent and the effectiveness of VET system policies and standards.
