IBSA - Innovation & Business Skills Australia

Industry Skills Councils

Industry Skills Councils operate collectively to improve the perception and value of Vocational Education and Training, and are catalysts for effecting change in order to create a more skilled and equipped workforce in Australia. Individually, ISCs advance their own industries through advocacy, networking, up-to-date intelligence and effective product and service development and delivery.

The ISC brand has been developed to communicate the benefits ISCs collectively and individually offer to their stakeholders. ISCs are valued for being:

• Independent, because they are industry led, nonpartisan and credible;
• Relevant, because they are solutions-focussed, in touch, high profile, networked and future-focussed;
• Experts, because they are knowledgeable, authorities, industry-specific, leaders and innovative;
• Enabling, because they are facilitating, accessible, empowering, approachable, effi cient and responsible; and
• Influential, because they are advisory, advocates, catalysts and mediating.

They are the ambassadors and champions of industry skills.
