Project Summary/ Scope of Work 

• A.2.1.   The department is seeking a supplier to develop a suite of training resources for use by registered training providers delivering nationally recognised qualifications and skill sets relating to electric vehicles and renewables, as part of the New Energy Training Pathways Initiative.
• A.2.2.   The resources will assist in fast-tracking the delivery of existing new energy training qualifications and skill sets within the national Vocational Education and Training (VET) system from 2024. The provider is required to work with the relevant Jobs and Skills Councils and other stakeholders (including registered training providers and their representatives, as well as other industry groups) to firstly determine the type of training resources required, and then to develop those resources to support the delivery of the qualifications and skill sets nationally. Jobs and Skills Councils are being established to provide industry with a stronger, more strategic voice in ensuring Australia’s VET sector delivers better outcomes for learners and employers.
