Get to know ACS's Workforce Development Team.

An experienced team, including:

ACS’ WFD works directly and specifically with our business, government and not-for-profit partners, and their tech and digital professionals (our members), to benchmark their skills - existing and future.

Through the skills benchmarking activities, using SFIA – the Skills Framework for the Information Age, an independent, internationally renowned framework - we:

  • identify critical skills for all modern tech, digital, data, security, AI and related support and management roles
  • deliver workshops through which individuals identify their own day-to-day and week-to-week skills
  • validate individuals’ skills to an independent industry standard and offer ACS certification against ACS’ CBOK
  • provide skills uplift advice and individual development plans with direct reference to ACS’ Learning Accelerator 
  • finally, partners receive team, business unit and whole-of-technology skills and development roadmaps – against which to drive future skills plans and resource commitments

Additional WFD services include:

  • Development of SFIA-focussed position descriptions 
  • Provision of bespoke skills and training programs
  • Tech and digital organisation structure review and recommendations
  • Understanding SFIA and SFIA Accredited Skills Assessor training

Currently, we are offering the Understanding SFIA Course (18 Apr) & Accredited Skills Assessor Course (19 Apr) to all members and non-members in Canberra, this is an excellent opportunity for you to use your professional development fund to pay for the course before the end of the financial year, and all PPPs are welcome to book tickets using your ROI funds (if any). *The cost of your PD is tax deductible, so please check it with your accountant.

ACS WFD activities are fee-for-service and you can request further information via email at sfia.skills@acs.org.au
