Our Vision

Our vision for a visible and vibrant skills system

A visible and vibrant skills system that enables economic and social prosperity for South Australians.

The changes around us

The opportunity exists to re-imagine the role of a skills-based economy through collaboration between government, training, and industry, and by exploring and promoting stories about the value of skills in learning, work, and life.

  • While we cannot directly influence every disruptive force to our workplaces, such as those occurring through technology, automation, AI, global health challenges, climate change, an aging workforce, we can respond to the skills needs and expectations of South Australians in relation to these issues.
  • The skills sector relies on a capable, engaged, and available workforce; the health and wellbeing of learners, apprentices, and trainees, as well as positive perceptions and attitudes about the role of skills in our community.
  • With lifelong learning now entrenched, new pathways are evolving between learning at school, home, and work that will strengthen skills-based careers across South Australia.
  • With our role as custodian of the apprenticeship and traineeship system, the opportunity exists for the Commission to proactively respond to change and develop strong skills adaptation and adoption strategies.

Growing a high-quality, safe, and accessible skills system

Through deeper engagement and by investing in a strong regulatory framework, we will enable our stakeholders to connect effectively with and support the skills system, unlocking opportunities for economic and social success.

A Listening Platform

Built to support people in rural, regional, remote and metropolitan areas through a new shopfront support centre, working with local partners, online presence and helpline to:

  • Facilitate resolutions between apprentices, trainees, and employers.
  • Allow us to engage directly with our stakeholders to learn about and improve training completions
  • Share new narratives to support skills success.
  • Build confidence in the VET system through better access to the Commission and its representatives.

A Strong Foundation

Build a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework that will:

  • Grow a high-quality skills system that enables every learner to flourish.
  • Support better access to information between government, industry, and learners.
  • Develop evidence-informed approaches to strengthen decision-making.
  • Ensure that people and industry understand the relationship between safety and positive training experiences.
