The Manufacturing Industry Skills Alliance (Manufacturing Alliance) is an industry owned and led organisation committed to developing an empowered manufacturing workforce that drives the Australian economy.

As the Jobs and Skills Council for the manufacturing sector, they want to ensure that the manufacturing industry can access workers with the skills needed to shape an innovative future made right here in Australia.

Their work as a JSC encompasses four key areas: workforce planning, training product development, supporting training delivery, and industry support and advocacy.

The Manufacturing Alliance facilitates a collaborative, tripartite arrangement that brings employers, unions, and governments together to address manufacturing’s skills shortages and broader workforce challenges. It also recognises the key role of training providers. This includes supporting industry and training providers to improve training and assessment practice, map career pathways across education sectors, and act as a source of intelligence on issues affecting their industries.

Since being established in 2023, the Manufacturing Industry Skills Alliance has engaged with industry stakeholders, unions, employers, government, and the VET sector to develop the 2024 Manufacturing Workforce Plan. The workforce plan represents the culmination of extensive work undertaken to map our industry and research the critical workforce and skills issues in the context of an economy-wide skills shortage, The plan was launched on 30 July 2024 and can be found at:
