NATIONAL Skills Week (August 25-31) is dedicated to raising the profile and status of skills and vocational learning, dispelling outdated myths and showcasing the attractive career opportunities available.
Vocational Education and Training (VET) has been a strong foundation for Australia’s economy. It has produced industry leaders, offers great diversity, new and exciting career paths, supports our resources and primary industries, and much more.
This year’s theme is ‘Explore all the Options’. National Skills Week Chairman, Brian Wexham, said, “It empowers individuals to explore all the options available to them, pursue the careers they are passionate about and supports Australia’s workforce development.

“Importantly, the week is designed to highlight ALL the options available through the VET sector – for high school students still at school, post school as well as mature age students looking to retrain or upskill. We also focus on industries facing critical skills shortages and Australia’s jobs needs of the future.”
Whether considering a trade, reskilling for a new career, or exploring the latest technologies, National Skills Week 2025 provides the perfect opportunity to discover options.
