On behalf of the Construction Industry Reference Committee, Artibus Innovation is pleased to announce that at the August 2020 meeting, the Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) fully endorsed the above releases of the Construction, Plumbing and Service (CPC) Training Package. It determined that the directives from the February meeting had been satisfactorily addressed and that Release 5.0 was now fully endorsed for implementation, subject to final sign-off by the Skills Ministers.
We would like to sincerely thank the hundreds of people who participated in these updates to the training package, whether through TAG membership, the provision of expert advice, attendance at forums and/or providing stakeholder feedback. It’s great to see the commitment and passion within the vocational education sector which is a tribute to the sector as a whole.

The Australian Industry Skills Committee’s Emergency Response Sub Committee recognises that there is a greater need than ever to reskill and upskill workers, particularly where their jobs have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The sub-committee is also exploring opportunities to support any urgent and unmet skills needs of businesses as they seek to adjust to the significantly altered economic environment. To address this, the sub-committee welcomes feedback on what critical skills are needed by workers and businesses, and where VET training products could help to provide these critical skills rapidly.
