What do sector councils do?
Sector councils plan and undertake activities to anticipate and respond to skills and labour market issues affecting their sectors, including the development and implementation of: • labour market information products to allow businesses to plan human resources and project investments; • national occupational standards to facilitate labour mobility (including apprenticeship), influence college curricula and promote health and safety in the workplace; • targeted recruitment and skills development initiatives to increase labour force participation and integration of under-represented groups, such as Aboriginal Peoples and immigrants; • efforts to ensure that curricula meet industry needs; • skills development tools, including e-learning; • essential skills initiatives; and • tools and approaches to integrate foreign-trained workers.
