In today's globalised world, collaborations and partnerships play a key role in strengthening world economies.
India, one of the youngest demographics and fastest growing economies and Australia, a leader in education, training and research have been steadily growing their partnership to set new standards of international cooperation.
The Australian Trade and Investment Commission also known as Austrade promotes Australian trade, investment and education to the world.
To strengthen the Australia-India partnership the Australian government has launched the Future Skills Initiative.
This initiative aims to help India and Australia partner for success in vocational education and skills training.
This 4-year program will support India to upskill its booming workforce through partnerships with Australian skills training providers.
The Future Skills Initiative supports the alignment of Australian training expertise with Indian partners and stakeholders in support of India's emerging labor force ambitions.
The initiative facilitates collaboration between Indian universities, training institutes and industry partners with Australian tertiary skills training providers.
There is a strong opportunity for Australian and Indian institutions to collaborate on the delivery of joint skills programs, short courses, micro-credentials, virtual live capstone projects as well as ongoing projects such as skills centers of excellence and partnerships in support of specific industries.
If you are an Indian university, training institute or industry partner looking to collaborate with an Australian skills training provider or an Australian university, TAFE, RTO or edtech company seeking to partner in the Indian skills ecosystem, then reach out to us at future.skills@austrade.gov.au.
So welcome to a new standard in international skills collaboration.
