Industry Engagement Framework
The Industry Engagement Framework will continue under the Victorian Skills Authority.
It is the main way for industry, unions and employers to inform and engage with the state’s training system.
The Industry Engagement Framework was established in 2016.
It will strengthen the link between the needs of industry and what students want.
The Framework is dynamic and flexible. It can respond to changing priorities and emerging issues. It helps set up regular, ongoing engagement with industry. It also helps us collect information from across Victoria’s industries.
The Framework allows us to understand better the needs of regional industry. It also allows us to understand any issues impacting training.
The 10 Industry Advisory Groups are an important part of the Framework. The IAGs have a formal role with the VSA. This includes providing us with advice and insights about skill demands and needs as part of the Government’s funded training system.
We also get insights from our Regional Skills Taskforces and Industry Skills Taskforces.

Industry Advisory Groups
