Recently I attend the 2nd National Joint ISC meeting, in Canberra The form was attended by all ISC’s and I would think most of the ISC
directors , Ministers, and related industry players
The day was very useful for
local government and an opportunity for great cross ISC discussion, and a good
update on the critical skills shortages, in various employment areas for local
government some good messages around our key areas of skills shortages
including our local government trades, and trade based qualifications and other
classifications affected directly and indirectly by the mining industry, and
other related pressures etc. (if you don’t know we are continuing to
receive requests for 457 visa applications in both trade and parra professional
qualifications that are trade (VET) based in local government ),.
Thus yesterday’s commitments by
all ISC’s around the compact was appreciated and great to see , plus of course
the presentations I’ll try to locate and pass on) including the quality links,
Asian white paper , and related presentations . I hope a number of the issues
could be factored into our future strategic planning, including the various
needs of our sectors, and the cross ISC LG industry work .
Again great day the ISC’s need
to be congratulated on this joint action
