Information and Communication Technology

Industry Skills Compact

The Technology Industry Skills Compact has been signed by the Tasmanian Government, Australian Computer Society (ACS) and TasICT.

The Industry Skills Compacts are the Tasmanian Government’s core mechanism to engage with industry regarding training and workforce development.

The Industry Skills Compacts support strong partnerships between participants in the training and workforce development system, while delivering on the recommendations of the Premier's Economic and Social Recovery Advisory Council.

The Industry Skills Compacts are agreements between industry bodies (such as associations and employer representatives) and include "step-up" commitments by industry, such as:

• Support for TasTAFE
• Specific industry-wide training requirements
• Increased involvement of industry professionals as trainers, and
• Shared infrastructure to enable students to train on modern technology.

Technology has a pervasive impact on all industries in Tasmania, extending beyond the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. It is for this reason that ACS and TasICT agreed to broaden the scope of the compact from ICT to Technology to reflect the impact it is having on other sectors.

The Technology Industry Skills Compact document includes the agreement between the Government and the industry bodies named above, and a Priority Action Plan.
