Read the third Victorian Skills Plan
A message from the Minister
The Victorian Government is building on its decade of investments in training to deliver the skills the economy needs.
1. The 2024 Skills Plan is central to the government’s strategy to strengthen economic growth and deliver its housing agenda
Key government priorities, including the Housing Statement, Big Build, care economy and clean economy transition, require a skilled, inclusive and modern Victorian workforce.
2. Victoria’s strong labour market will continue to grow
Over the next three years, around 392,000 new workers are expected to enter the Victorian labour market.
3. Deliver knowledge and skills that enable economic participation and support industry needs
Language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills are critical for participation.
4. Improve access to vocational education and training
To meet high workforce demands in sectors like construction and care, Victorians must be able to up-skill and re-skill without unnecessary barriers.
5. Connect secondary school students with training pathways and the world of work
Schools play a critical role in providing young Victorians with the knowledge, capabilities and skills to thrive in life.
Conclusion – a message from the Victorian Skills Authority
Shared responsibility underpins the approach to education and training across Australia, as reflected in the National Skills Agreement and the Universities Accord.
