Development of the Workforce Connections: Workforce Specialist Project Framework

As part of Workforce Australia, Workforce Specialists will deliver projects to meet the workforce needs of identified industries and occupations, connecting them to eligible individuals in Workforce Australia Services, Workforce Australia Online and Workforce Australia – Transition to Work

The department developed the first iteration of the Workforce Connections: Workforce Specialist Project Framework (the Framework) to identify industries and occupations with significant labour market opportunities for individuals to inform the delivery of Workforce Specialist Projects.

Consultation Process

The department undertook a consultation process with interested parties including representatives from industry, employers, state and territory governments and other Australian Government departments to inform development of the first Framework (formerly known as the Workforce Connections Plan during the consultation process).

Webinars

In early to mid-September 2021 the department held webinars with industry stakeholders to facilitate consultation on the Framework.
