Case for Change
The Culture and Related Industries Industry Reference Committee (IRC) identified that the Creative Arts and Culture (CUA) Training Package had a gap in teaching skills for writers, editors and communications workers, especially in new fields such as social media strategy, digital communications and communications for business.
We prepared the Case for Change for this project on behalf of the Culture and Related Industries IRC and submitted it to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) in April 2017.
The AISC endorsed this project on 1 June 2017.

Consultation
On behalf of the Culture and Related Industries IRC, we carried out industry consultations for this project from July – October 2017. Consultation focused on identifying the key changes to training products required to more closely align training in professional writing and editing with the skills needs of industry.
Following the Culture and Related Industries IRC’s review of our key findings from consultation and the recommendations we proposed for changes to training products, we developed draft training products to address skills gaps in professional writing and editing.
The consultation period for feedback on draft training products has now closed.
The next step was to develop a Case for Endorsement for changes to the CUA Training Package, which was provided to the Culture and Related Industries IRC for approval and submitted to the AISC in 2018.
Thank you to those who provided their valuable input.
