Victoria’s skills system is complex, with multiple local, regional, statewide and national influences shaping it.
Engagement with industry covers a vast range of sectors that play an important role in Victoria’s economy and community including:
- Arts, personal services, retail, tourism and hospitality
- Building, construction, mining and property
- Early educators, health and human services, sport and recreation
- Electrotechnology, energy, gas and renewables
- Finance, technology and business
- Furniture, textiles, timber, forestry and forest products
- Manufacturing
- Primary production, horticulture and racing
- Public safety and government
- Transport and logistics.
We facilitate robust discussion with both employer and employee representatives from these industry sectors on multiple initiatives, issues and opportunities. This supports high-quality skills and workforce analysis and policy development, as well as program delivery by the Victorian Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR), other Victorian Government bodies, the Commonwealth Government and other national skills bodies.
