NOW entering its 13th year, National Skills Week sets out to highlight the profile and status of vocational learning by dispelling outdated myths and showcasing the many attractive opportunities for all Australians.
Australia continues to experience an increase in demand for skilled labour, which requires increased workforce participation, increased skill attainment and the employment of attraction and retention strategies.
National Skills Week, August 21-27, 2023, aims to raise awareness of the diversity of training and career opportunities available, pathways into training and education, and the importance of trades, skills and Vocational Education and Training (VET) to today’s society.
The theme for 2023 is ‘What are you looking for? which focuses on matching what people are looking for in a career and their life to skills training through Vocational Education. The theme also invites employers and industry to join in the conversation with what they are looking for their team and the role VET has in this pace.
