Industry Skills Compact

The Building and Construction Industry Skills Compact has been signed by the Tasmanian Government and the following parties:

• Master Builders Australia - Tasmania (MBT)
• Civil Contractors Federation - Tasmania (CCFTas)
• Housing Industry Association - Tasmania (HIA)
• Keystone Tasmania
• National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA)
• Master Plumbers Australia - Tasmania (MPAT)

The Industry Skills Compacts are the Tasmanian Government’s core mechanism to engage with industry regarding training and workforce development.

The Industry Skills Compacts support strong partnerships between participants in the training and workforce development system, while delivering on the recommendations of the Premier's Economic and Social Recovery Advisory Council.

The Industry Skills Compacts are agreements between industry bodies (such as associations and employer representatives) and include "step-up" commitments by industry, such as:

• Support for TasTAFE
• Specific industry-wide training requirements
• Increased involvement of industry professionals as trainers, and
• Shared infrastructure to enable students to train on modern technology.

The Building and Construction Industry Skills Compact document includes the agreement between the Government and the above parties, and a Priority Action Plan.
