Over the past six months, the Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) has worked to develop its first Victorian Skills Plan. This Skills Plan provides a 'skills roadmap'. It represents a new approach to connecting industry, learner and community insights and provides evidence for the provision of training and skills across Victoria aligned to current and future job needs. It identifies actions and the further work needed to build a robust skills base and shape the next generation of skills delivery strategies.

The Skills Plan focuses on the occupations and skills that industry and workers need and are delivered by the TAFE and training system, Adult Community Education and Higher Education. With evidence drawn from more than 60 local, national and global sources, enhanced through more than 100 consultation forums with industry, employers, unions, education and training providers and learners, the Skills Plan: delivers industry-validated insights on the scale and form of the issues facing Victoria; provides clear direction on the response required; and identifies priority actions to improve the training and skills sector.

This implementation update covers the first-year actions and initiatives, and highlights the plan's role in prioritising and directing the VSA's work program and collaboration approach with key stakeholders and partners including the Department of Education (DE); the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR); and DJSIR's Office of TAFE Coordination and Delivery (OTCD).
