IRC Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work 2017-2020

The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) National Schedule details all training package review and development work currently underway. The Schedule captures the training package review and development work commissioned by the AISC following advice from its network of Industry Reference Committees (IRCs).

The Schedule is regularly updated as work progresses. In addition, there is an annual update following the receipt of 'IRC Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work'. These are due in April each year, and the Schedule will be updated again, following a comprehensive review of the Proposed Schedules of Work. In developing these Schedules of Work, IRCs consult broadly to ensure a whole-of-industry view about the opportunities and challenges for the workforce and the Training Package review work necessary to meet industry needs.
