This week Federal Skills Minister Hon. Brendan O’Connor officially launched National Skills week in old Parliament house Canberra.
|
|
As well as launching National Skills Week Minister O’Connor announced that the government is establishing a VET Qualifications Reform Design Group to be chaired by Craig Robertson – CEO of the Victorian Skills Authority.
|
“Its role will be to help deliver simpler more responsive system."
|
And the result will be a simpler, more responsive system that strikes the right balance between industry skill needs, while recognising transferable skills.
|
This will support people to continually build their skillset through their working lives through multiple jobs and sectors.
|
This is the first step in a significant body of work to deliver on our reform ambition.
|
It builds on the creation of Jobs and Skills Councils – a network of industry led organisations that will bring together employers and unions to work in partnership with governments and the education and training sectors.”
