Case for Change
Given the rapid rate of technological development, many areas of ICT now require different skills and knowledge, such as in database technologies, game development, networking and other ICT sectors. Since the ICT industry is only going to continue advancing, it is critical that available training reflects current industry trends so that Australia’s workforce is equipped with in-demand ICT skills.This project aims to refresh the skills and knowledge across current units of competency and skill sets that were last revised in 2015, as well as create skill sets that can be ‘stacked’ upon each other towards attaining a qualification.
A Case for Change for this project will be considered at the 23 February 2021 AISC meeting.
