A federal government pilot program will consider new ways of designing training and qualifications for entry-level data analysts and to support the general workforce.
Creating a workforce that can meet the changing needs of Australia’s digital economy will require fit-for-purpose qualifications, and the federal government is spending millions to improve the VET system to this end.
Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills and Small Business Stuart Robert said on Thursday the Digital Skills Organisation (DSO) pilot would work with employers, job seekers and training providers to develop the specialised training.
“This pilot is doing the work to ensure those qualifications are fit-for-purpose so we can improve our skills pipeline and bring more Australians into our digital workforce,” Robert said.
