Jurisdictional Action Plans are a new initiative under the National Skills Agreement agreed by all States and Territories with the Commonwealth Government.
Their purpose is to identify those actions that will contribute to jointly identified national priorities, targets and outcomes, and also to provide greater visibility for industry and community stakeholders on how the vocational education and training system, under joint national stewardship, is meeting the needs of all Australians and promoting social and economic prosperity.
The national plan, and by extension the State’s plan, is informed by engagement with the VET sector, tripartite leadership structures such as Jobs and Skills Australia and Jobs and Skills Councils, and with First Nations organisations and communities.
The focus of the workforce development action plan includes specific workforce needs, capability, priority cohorts, national reforms, and broader workforce development priorities to ensure a well-functioning labour market that can supply the right skills in the right place at the right time to ensure the nation continues to prosper.
