Providing advice to government about the vocational education and training requirements of industry

There are eight Training Councils in Western Australia, recognised in WA’s Vocational Education and Training Act 1996 and established to provide advice to government about the vocational education and training requirements of industry.

 

Each Training Council is an industry training advisory body which informs the Department of Training and Workforce Development (DTWD) and the State Training Board (STB) on the training needs and skilling priorities of industry in Western Australia. Training Council advice guides the State’s workforce development and training strategies.

Role and Function of the Training Council

We are actively involved in facilitating and participating in industry workshops and seminars, producing industry reports and working on training-based projects with our stakeholders, as well as providing pertinent training information through a variety of avenues such as newsletters and bulletins.

We work with industry to foster:

  • Quality and industry-specific training

  • A skilled and flexible workforce

  • Employment-based training and apprenticeships

  • Industry networks

  • Effective representation on training-related matters

  • Improved productivity
