Industry Skills Australia opens in Hobart

28 September 2023

Industry Skills Australia (ISA), the newly created Jobs and Skills Council for Australia’s transport and logistics industries has officially launched in Hobart.

ISA will seek to gather Tasmanian industry perspectives to inform the federal government’s National Workforce Development Plan, which will be released next year.

Owned and led by industry, ISA’s scope covers transport and logistics (road, rail, aviation and maritime), omnichannel logistics, and space transport industries. Its role is to bring together employers, unions, educators, and industry leaders to identify the skills needed by industry and to develop training solutions to meet those needs.

ISA will spend the coming months seeking to identify industry’s current and emerging skills needs across the country. ISA will then build on that information to help create workforce development solutions including training products capable of building high-quality, world-class skills for new and existing workers.
