ISC's
Industry Skills Councils (ISCs) are independent, not-for-profit companies established and funded by the Australian Government. ISCs:
- use industry intelligence to advise business and government on workforce development and skill needs Australia-wide
- actively support the development and implementation of quality skills training arrangements and related services
- provide independent skills and training advice to businesses, including matching identified skills needs with appropriate training solutions
- promote the benefits of skills development and training to industry enterprises, employers and employees.
In undertaking these roles ISCs draw on widespread industry networks and active stakeholder engagement.
