How effective is the Training and Skills Development Act 2008 (SA) at supporting employers, apprentices, trainees and training organisations to start apprenticeships and traineeships?
What is being decided?
We are seeking your feedback and ideas on how the Training and Skills Development Act 2008 (SA) can be refreshed and updated to ensure it provides an effective framework for skills and workforce development in South Australia
The Training and Skills Development Act 2008 (T&SD Act):
- establishes the Training and Skills Commission (TaSC) and the Training Advocate, both of which play important roles in relation to skills and workforce development in South Australia; and,
- sets the regulatory framework for apprenticeships and traineeships.
The nature of work and the skill requirements of the workforce in South Australia have changed since it was enacted more than 10 years ago, and it now requires an update to better support the growth of future industries, automation and digitisation.
The review of the T&SD Act is part of the South Australian Government’s reforms to the training system under Skilling South Australia to ensure businesses and industries at the forefront of innovation and cutting-edge technologies have access to a skilled workforce.
