National Skills Week (Australia-wide)

National Skills Week
23-29 August 2021
The manufacturing sector wants to see a system of apprenticeships that incorporate extensive STEM-based skills that provide qualifications equating to a diploma or
advanced diploma.
National Skills Week is designed to shine a national spotlight on jobs of the future, skills shortages and the myriad of inspiring, lucrative and rewarding career pathways that can be pursued through the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.
Now moving into its eleventh year, National Skills Week 2021 invites Australians to explore the many vocational career pathways as Australia’s economy recovers from the pandemic.
National Skills Week Chair, Brian Wexham, says that during the week, areas of emerging skills needs are highlighted, career options profiled and inspiring stories told. “There has never been a more pivotal time to educate job seekers and school leavers on the importance of gaining a skill, apprenticeship or traineeship and particularly highlighting key job growth industries such as manufacturing,” Mr Wexham said.
