About this event

Join us for an insightful session exploring how the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) is being used to strengthen pathways in Vocational Education and Training (VET). This presentation will demonstrate how SFIA provides a consistent, skills-based framework that aligns qualifications with real industry capability requirements, helping learners, educators, and employers speak a common language of skills.

Hear from Sally Browner (FSO), Craig van Zyl (C4 Digital), and Lisa Syrek (ACS) as they share the collaborative journey of mapping the ICT Training Package to SFIA. Together, they will unpack the methodology, challenges, and outcomes of this national initiative designed to enhance digital career pathways and workforce readiness.

Discover how SFIA helps educators contextualise digital skills within VET qualifications, ensuring learners gain the right competencies to meet evolving industry demands. The speakers will also highlight the practical tools and lessons learned from integrating SFIA into education and training programs, offering valuable insights for RTOs, policy leaders, and training professionals aiming to embed capability frameworks into their delivery and assessment models.

This session is ideal for those shaping the future of Australia’s digital skills ecosystem.
