Government Initiatives

Victorian Skills Pledge

The Victorian Skills Pledge is a key initiative under the government's Securing Jobs for Your Future - Skills for Victoria policy, and is a voluntary commitment by businesses to driving business improvement through appropriate upskilling of their employees.

Taking the Victorian Skills Pledge is open to businesses of all sizes in the private, public and community sectors. It can be done quickly and simply through the online sign-up facility on the Skills Victoria website.

A short promotional video has been posted by Skills Victoria on YouTube which highlights some of the benefits of making the Victorian Skills Pledge.  You can view the clip online by clicking here to go directly to the video on the YouTube website.
