Workforce Digital Skills Survey
Australian Industry Standards (AIS) is a partner in RMIT University’s research project investigating workforce digital skills. Each of the 2017 Industry Reference Committee (IRC) Skills Forecasts identified technology and digital skills as key issues for the future.  The aim of the project is to identify workforce digital skills requirements and examine the capacity of the VET system and Training Packages to effectively meet this growing demand. The research will be an important input for the IRCs in their future deliberations about the Training Packages they are responsible for.

The research project is funded by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER).

The survey is anonymous and will take less than 10 minutes. There are no right or wrong answers and AIS encourages all stakeholders to provide input. Complete the survey to inform the future of Training Packages.
