Industry Skills Councils

Australia’s Industry Skills Councils bring together industry, educators and governments and unite them on a common industry-led agenda for action on skills and workforce development.

Industry Skills Councils are recognised and funded by the Australian Government, and are governed by independent, industry led boards.
