Lifting Transport Supply Chain Productivity Through Skills
Industry Skills Australia (ISA) has released the 2025 Workforce Plans for the nation’s Aviation, Maritime, Rail, Transport & Logistics industries.
This year’s Plans have a newfound importance with productivity now firmly in the national spotlight. A more skilled and efficient transport supply chain workforce will help every industry that depends on the movement of goods to become more competitive and profitable.
Join ISA’s Industry & RTO Roundtables Engagement
ISA regularly hosts dedicated forums for both Transport Supply Chain Industries and RTO stakeholders.
These sessions are an opportunity to share:
- Current and emerging skill needs
- The key blockages and bottlenecks facing in building a skilled workforce
- The high-impact solutions that would like to see implemented
Engaging directly with senior industry leaders, employers, unions, training providers, and government representatives (including State Ministers) has provided a clear picture of:
- What’s working
- What needs improvement
- Where stronger collaboration is essential
These insights will directly shape ISA’s future projects and program of work, inform our advice to government, and guide evidence-based solutions for businesses and the workforce.
Solving the Challenges Together
As the Jobs and Skills Council for the nation's transport supply chain, we will be bringing together business leaders, unions, governments, industry organisations and training providers to understand the real issues and collaborate on high impact solutions.
We’re committed to building a world class supply chain workforce to lift the nation’s productivity and create better jobs and careers for Australians. To secure this future we’ll need to tackle many challenges.
Whether its finding ways of getting more skilled truck drivers into the cabs of trucks to keep Australia’s supply chains moving.
Or sourcing a workforce to ensure the $155 billion pipeline of rail projects can be built and operated safely. Or building a strategic fleet to enhance our sovereign maritime capability and creating jobs for Australian seafarers.
Or figuring out how we ensure new workers are skilled to meet the challenges of increasing demand for aviation services. Or building the workforce for our emerging space transport and omni-channel logistics sectors which are both set for strong growth this decade.
Great ideas to address these challenges and many more can come from anyone and anywhere. Whether you’d like to collaborate with us, share your ideas, get involved in our activities or simply stay informed, get in touch now to join us on the journey.
