STANDING COMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT, WORKPLACE RELATIONS AND WORKFORCE PARTICIPATION  \nInquiry into workforce challenges in the Australian tourism sector  \nSubmission prepared by Service Skills Australia  \nHouse of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Workplace Relations and Workforce Participation  \nInquiry into workforce challenges in the Australian tourism sector  \nService Skills Australia welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the standing committee on employment workplace relations and workforce participation on workforce challenges in the Australian tourism sector. This submission outlines Service Skills Australia’s view of the tourism industry with a particular focus on training strategies and addresses the following terms of reference:  \n• Current and future employment trends in the industry  \n• Current and emerging skill shortages and appropriate recruitment, coordinated training and retention strategies  \n• Labour shortages and strategies to meet seasonal fluctuations in workforce demands  \n• Strategies to ensure employment in regional and remote areas  \n• Innovative workplace measures to support further employment opportunities and business growth in the tourism sector.  \nService Skills Australia is an industry skills council and is responsible for engaging with industry to develop effective and future-focused training and skills development opportunities for the service industries. Service Skills Australia has two key roles:  \n• Assist industries, enterprises and their workforce to integrate skills development with business goals  \n• Support accurate industry intelligence on future directions and  \n• Actively support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of high quality, nationally-recognised training products and services, including enhancing innovation, rationalising materials where there are cross industry synergies, and improving efficiency.  \nService Skills Australia also provides advice and direction to Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and Australian Apprenticeship Centres on industry expectations in relation to training delivery and assessment, and provides guidance and careers pathway information to schools and jobseekers.  \nTourism, Hospitality and Events are three separate industries but have such close links that they can be considered one. The interrelationships exist because of the integrated products and services they produce, the close business to business relationships that exist across all three industries, the common customers they service and the sales and service staff employed who often cross industries during their career.  \nTourism is defined as travel away from the traveller’s normal place of work and residence and is much more than just leisure travel. It encompasses travel for reasons related to such ","cbCaidtyEGBP9rcq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidtyEGBP9rcq","pdf",1439935,10,"English","# Service Skills Australia cover letter\n## Purpose and invitation for updates\n# Submission overview\n## Terms of reference addressed\n## Role of Service Skills Australia\n# Industry definitions and interrelationships\n## Tourism\n## Hospitality\n## Events\n## Industry structure and sectors","[{\"question\":\"What consultation does the Service Skills Australia response relate to?\",\"answer\":\"It relates to the consultation paper titled “Regulation of school-based apprenticeships and traineeships.”\"},{\"question\":\"Which workforce topics does the submission address?\",\"answer\":\"It covers employment trends, current and emerging skill shortages with recruitment and training strategies, labour shortages and seasonal workforce fluctuations, regional and remote employment strategies, and innovative workplace measures for growth.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the submission describe Service Skills Australia’s responsibilities?\",\"answer\":\"It states that Service Skills Australia engages with industry to develop future-focused training and skills development, assists integration of skills development with business goals, supports industry intelligence, and improves high-quality nationally recognised training products and services.\"}]","Inquiry into workforce challenges in the Australian tourism sector - Cover letter | PDF"]
