If you want a clearer, nationally recognised pathway for fencing and gate work, this keynote at the Australian FENCING Conference matters.
BuildSkills Australia is working with Fencing Industry Australia and industry stakeholders to define the fencing and gate vocation in a way the national VET system can recognise and support, including what the work actually involves, the skills required, and how those skills should be trained and assessed.
What ‘vocation’ means for the industry:
A clearly defined vocation is the foundation for consistent national skills standards and credible training products (skill sets and qualifications) that reflect real job tasks and acceptable on-site performance.
What this keynote will cover:
- How the fencing vocation is being defined
- What has been achieved so far through industry input and evidence gathering
- How that work translates into national training outcomes
- What happens next: development priorities, engagement points, and how businesses can influence the final shape of outcomes
- What it means for contractors: workforce pipeline, onboarding and upskilling, consistency of workmanship, and clearer expectations for competence
Why attend:
This is your opportunity to hear directly how the industry is being positioned inside the national skills framework, and what you should do now to stay aligned and have a say in the direction.
