Our mission is to support Australians in finding safe, secure, and well-paid work with the skills for a sustainable future. Secure jobs are vital for the prosperity of our nation, driving economic growth and providing certainty to individuals. In a rapidly changing world, our focus is equipping Australians with the relevant skills, knowledge, and experience needed to succeed in their careers, whether they are just starting, advancing, or changing their path. Our active efforts involve identifying skill shortages in industries, including emerging sectors crucial for the prosperity of businesses, individuals, and our country. We work towards filling these skill gaps to support Australia's economic growth. We support a world-leading vocational education and training sector that offer apprenticeships, cadetships, and traineeships, addressing future skill demands and ensuring better outcomes through an agile skills sector that aligns with market demands. We take pride in supporting local, safe, and secure employment, underpinned by a safety net of pay, conditions, and workplace rights and responsibilities, providing confidence for both employers and employees. Our strategic purpose is to foster a productive and competitive labour market, offering policies and programs that assist job seekers in securing work, meeting employer and industry needs. Additionally, we promote growth in economic productivity and social well-being by providing access to quality skills and training, facilitating job growth, including secure work, and promoting fair, productive, and safe workplaces.
