KEY CHALLENGES

The goal is 1.2m people in tech jobs by 2030. We need 600,000 additional tech workers to reach the goal. There just aren’t enough people training to become digital workers, requiring continued action to fix gaps in education and training pathways.

Solve the shortage of digital skills.

The finance and insurance industries are always changing. New tech, shifting customer expectations, and regulations mean there's a need for skills like data visualisation. This requires new entry-level pathways and retraining programs.

Urgently reskill and upskill

Ensure training meets industry needs

Across industries, business support roles like marketing, accounting, and human resources are evolving. Training for these careers often fails to meet industry demands. The VET system must become more agile to swiftly align with what industry needs.
