Welcome to National Skills Week

National Skills Week is dedicated to raising the profile and status of  skills and vocational learning, dispelling outdated myths and showcasing the attractive career opportunities for all Australians.

Vocational Education and Training (VET) has been the foundation of Australia’s strong and vibrant economy. It has produced industry leaders, it offers great diversity, new and exciting career paths, supports our resources and primary industries, builds our cities, supports our tourism, our monuments, our heritage and much, much more.

🎤 Introducing our MC for the National Skills Week Federal Launch: Casey Fox!  The launch event is taking place in Canberra on the morning of Wednesday, 27 August.  @fox_casey is a passionate advocate for Vocational Education and the transformative power it holds — especially for adult learners. With over 20 years of leadership experience in the retail sector, she has combined her industry expertise with vocational qualifications to now train and assess in Training & Education, Business Leadership, and Retail Management.  🏆 In 2022, Casey was named NSW Vocational Student of the Year and a national finalist, recognised for her commitment to helping others elevate their careers through VET.  Her mission? To show how vocational pathways can empower professionals to re-engage with learning and become exceptional trainers and leaders in their fields.  We’re proud to have Casey leading the conversation at our Canberra Launch — an inspiring morning of skills, stories and sector celebration.  🎟️ Purchase Tickets: LINK IN BIO  #NationalSkillsWeek #ExploreAllTheOptions #SkillsMatter #NSWK2025 #VocationalEducation
