A message from the Victorian Skills Authority
New skills priorities are emerging in Victoria. The Victorian economy is rebounding strongly from the pandemic. Our skills system must act now to provide the skills for Victoria’s economic recovery.
A new era for skills
The Victorian Skills Plan represents a new approach to connecting industry, learner and community insights and provides evidence for the provision of training and skills across Victoria.
The Vocational Education and Training system has been rebuilt, with stronger foundations
The Government is committed to providing world-class skills and training that meets the needs of Victoria’s employers, industries and communities.
Focus and structure underpin the system
The Victorian Skills Authority is leading economic opportunities through skills and training.
The COVID-19 pandemic presents us with opportunities
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Victorian training and skills sector, but challenges bring opportunities.
The Victorian economy is resilient
Victoria has led the nation in job creation from the time of the state’s second COVID-19 peak, with over 300,000 jobs created since September 2020.
The way forward
The VSA brings together the key stakeholders of the skills sector – industry, employers, providers, unions, communities and learners – to provide skills-led solutions, drive reform and work together.
Using the Victorian Skills Plan
The Skills Plan identifies actions the VSA will undertake – partnering with government, industry, employers, training providers and learners – to address priorities in skills provision.
Better alignment of education and training with labour market demands through the provision of ‘best in class’ data insights
The Victorian Skills Authority wants to ensure the Victorian investment in training and education achieves the best possible outcomes.
Improving outcomes through a better-connected system
VSA drives effective collaboration between the education and training community, learners and industry, leading to a richer experience for all players.
TAFE: better than ever
TAFEs are central to the vocational education system and play a key role in delivering vocational education to school students, as well as international and higher education.
TAFE: the road ahead
The Office of TAFE Coordination and Delivery (OTCD) and TAFEs are enhancing the delivery of vocational qualifications.
Growing jobs in regional Victoria
Communities across Victoria are rebuilding their industries and communities after the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Realising growth across regional Victoria
Victoria’s regions are well positioned to reap the benefits of the return of tourists, infrastructure investments and significant demand for locally made products.
Government investments in infrastructure and social recovery
The Government has invested billions of dollars in its economic and social recovery agenda, with a focus on getting people back to work.
Victoria’s Big Build
The Big Build Apprenticeships program is increasing the supply of apprenticeships, better leveraging government procurement and improving the quality and accessibility of training.
Digitisation and new opportunities
Digitisation, digital tools and automation are changing the way Victoria operates – and creating new opportunities.
Early Childhood: Best Start, Best Life
The Victorian Government has an ongoing commitment to strengthening early childhood education.
Towards 2025: The future of work
The Skills Plan segments demand into 13 industry clusters that, between them, are forecast to need around 373,000 more workers over the next three years.
Our plan for action
If Victoria is to thrive in a rapidly changing world, it needs to draw on the strengths of everyone who contributes to the training and skills sector.
