Industry Skills Compact

The Information and Communication Technology Industry Skills Compact is currently under development.

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.
