The Victorian Skills Plan underpins Victoria’s skills roadmap, to help TAFEs and other training providers plan for courses, industries ensure they have the workers they need, and Victorians with education and training pathway choices for success in work and life.

The nature of skills needed now and into the future is changing, especially as industries adapt to worker shortages, new enabling technologies and different ways of working. The Plan argues for more transferable skills to develop a flexible and adaptable skilled workforce prepared for socio-economic transitions.

This year’s plan makes recommendations for post-secondary education, in particular, Vocational Education and Training (VET), in responding to the Victorian Government’s priority for a fairer future for First Nations peoples through its nation-leading Treaty work and the Victorian Self-Determination Reform Framework.

These efforts drive economic development and social prosperity for all Victorians.
