The Jobs and Skills Australia Work Plan focusses on priorities to support JSA’s delivery of high-quality advice to underpin Australia’s response to current, emerging and future workforce, skills and training needs.
Each annual work plan sets out the key outcomes and priorities for the financial year. Key focuses this year include tackling skills shortages, forecasting labour market trends, and enhancing employment pathways for priority groups, such as women, First Nations people, and people with a disability.
Strategic outcomes
Our 2024-25 work agenda is guided by JSA’s five strategic Commissioner’s outcomes:
- Fostering inclusive participation - broadening employment opportunities through identifying and removing barriers for people and communities.
- Understanding today’s workforce - building the evidence base to inform and address current and emerging labour market and skills needs.
- Shaping Australia’s future workforce - projecting forward to plan for the opportunities and challenges for our nation’s future workforce needs.
- Optimising pathways and system architecture - monitoring, analysing and advising on the effectiveness of the national skills system.
- Activating an informed dialogue - convening stakeholders across the skills system to provide the best evidence and advice on Australia’s current and future workforce and skills needs.
The work plan has been developed in consultation with our Ministerial Advisory Board, Jobs and Skills Councils, state and territory governments, Commonwealth government agencies and a wide range of other stakeholders (including a public submission process).
