National Skills Plan just released!

Australia’s National Skills Plan sets the stage for a future-ready workforce through Vocational Education and Training (VET). With a focus on priorities like gender equality, supporting First Nations learners, and preparing for the net-zero transition, the plan emphasises collaboration between TAFE, industry, and community partners. By investing in skills development, the plan is designed to ensure Australians are equipped for a rapidly evolving economy.
Eduworks encourages RTOs to consider aligning their strategic direction with the national skills plan, as we collectively work towards building a more skilled and prosperous Australia.
