Skills Victoria

If you own or manage a business, and are committed to improving the skills of your people, you can join the Victorian Skills Pledge initiative.

If you sign up for the Victorian Skills Pledge, the Victorian Government will acknowledge the contribution made by your business to improving the productivity and efficiency of your workforce.

What are the benefits to your business?

When you sign up for the Victorian Skills Pledge, your business will also be:

• publicly acknowledged on the Victorian Skills Pledge register by having your business logo displayed online
• given a Victorian Skills Pledge certificate signed by the Minister for Skills and Workforce Participation and the Chair of the Victorian Skills Commission that can be displayed in your place of work
• able to market your business as being recognised by Government as committed to up-skilling its staff
• able to apply for the prestigious Victorian Training Awards where you could be in the running to win the Employer or Small Business of the Year categories and be recognised as an outstanding business in Victoria for your commitment to skills and workforce development
• linked with your relevant Industry Training Advisory Body which can help your business understand and use the skills system.

If your business is small to medium sized (up to 200 staff), when you sign up to the Victorian Skills Pledge the Government can help you deliver on your training commitment through the Skills for Growth program. This program will assist your business to identify its strategic business aims and objectives, assess staff skills, and place staff into training.

Your business will also receive regular updates on important developments in the Victorian skills system. These updates will keep you informed of best practice in skills and workforce development and will feature profiles of businesses involved in the Victorian Skills Pledge initiative and Skills for Growth – the Workforce Development Program.
