Industry Skills Boards
The competitiveness and productivity of every organisation is highly dependent on it having access to the skills it needs – today and in the future. Industry Skills Boards (ISBs) form one of the ways the Government works with industry to develop industry specific workforce planning, identify workforce trends and emerging skill needs, and consider and address issues relating to career advice and the attraction and retention of a skilled workforce. The formal roles of Industry Skills Councils involve:

  • providing integrated industry intelligence and advice to Skills Australia , government and enterprises on workforce development and skills needs
  • actively supporting the development, implementation and continuous improvement of high quality training and workforce development products and services including training packages
  • providing independent skills and training advice to enterprises, including matching identified training needs with appropriate training solutions; working with enterprises, employment service providers, Registered Training Organisations and government to allocate training places under the productivity places program
  • engaging with State and Territory Governments, State and Territory industry advisory bodies and peak representative bodies in their area of industry coverage.
