Regional Skills Taskforces and Regional Skills Demand Profiles
To support regional skills and training initiatives, the Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) convened Regional Skills Taskforces to develop seven Regional Skills Demand Profiles.
Regional Skills Taskforces, convened by the VSA, developed a Regional Skills Demand Profile(opens in a new window) for their local regions.
The profiles gather local insights and intelligence on skill demand pressures, future industry skills and training needs, and priority growth sectors within specific regions of Victoria.
Along with the Victorian Skills Plan, these profiles inform the Victorian Government’s investments for vocational education and skills development in the regions.
