About Us

The SkillsInfo website is an initiative of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).

SkillsInfo is designed to provide skills-related information for industries and regions, as well as on education and training and skills issues. The website is built around five themes:  Labour Market Information, Industries - snapshots, reports and charts, Regions-snapshots, reports and charts, Skill Shortages and Education and Training Links.

SkillsInfo includes Industry Employment Profiles that present, in graphical form, a comprehensive suite of data on employment characteristics, trends and prospects for all industries. Complementing the Industry Employment Profiles are the Industry Employment Outlook Reports. These reports, in easily downloadable PDF format, provide a detailed analysis of the key employment characteristics, trends and prospects by industry, and highlight specific sectors where job growth is the strongest.

There are several Skills Issues covered by the SkillsInfo website:labour market information; skill shortages; workforce ageing; employability skills; and ICT skills.

The SkillsInfo website has been developed under the auspices of the Skills Outlook Working Group, including representatives from the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE); the Department of Infrastructure and Transport; the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE); the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (DRET); the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS); the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER); and peak industry bodies including the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group), the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) and the Business Council of Australia (BCA).
