This project aims to build an evidence base to address workforce capability challenges and recommend improvements to training pathways for Local Government. The project includes a national audit of skills data, stakeholder consultations, and analysis of the uptake and utility of existing LGA VET training packages. It will map skills shortages against current training offerings and propose strategies such as curriculum reform, RTO engagement, and policy enhancements to strengthen the skilled labour pipeline and ensure future workforce readiness in the Local Government sector.
