Victorian Skills Plan for 2024 into 2025

The 2024 skills plan guides and coordinates the efforts of key stakeholders in the skills system including government, training providers, industry and learners to realise the shared vision of a skilled workforce. It identifies areas for action to support Victoria's economic priorities, including improving productivity, increasing employment and enhancing economic inclusion.

Building on the work program established in previous plans, the 2024 plan focuses on strategies to: (1) deliver knowledge and skills that strengthen economic growth, and enable the delivery of government priorities, with Victorian TAFEs leading the training response; (2) make it easier for people to access vocational education and training (VET), up-skill and re-skill; and (3) better connect secondary school students to the world of work. The 2024 plan takes a broad view across the economy, with a strong emphasis on addressing the urgent workforce requirements in housing. This includes recommendations to encourage more people to choose a career in construction and make it easier for existing skilled workers to join the construction workforce and stay in the industry to grow their career.
