About SkillsOne
SkillsOne is one of Australia's leading communications platforms dedicated to championing skills-based careers, shining a light on apprenticeships, traineeships and the broader vocational education and training (VET) system.
Founded in 2007, we sit at the centre of Australia's skills ecosystem, connecting students, parents, educators, employers and career changers through powerful storytelling, practical resources and national campaigns that inspire real engagement with vocational learning and meaningful career pathways.
We are the creator and home of National Skills Week, Australia's flagship annual movement dedicated to raising the profile and status of skills and vocational learning, dispelling outdated myths and showcasing the attractive career opportunities for all Australians.
We are also the driving force behind Skills Match, a platform that connects schools with industry to open doors for the next generation of skilled Australians, keeping SkillsOne at the heart of where opportunity and ambition meet.
Today, SkillsOne is evolving into a year-round platform that not only raises awareness but drives real connection. Through SkillsOne Connect, our digital platform launching in 2026, we're helping Australians explore apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities, connect with trusted training providers and employers, and take the next step on their skills journey.
Whether you're exploring career pathways, seeking to engage future talent, or helping shape Australia's workforce. SkillsOne is where it starts.

We build awareness, create connection, recognise excellence, and produce content that inspires across the national skills ecosystem.
From Australia's flagship national campaign to an AI-powered matching platform, a curated school-industry connector and a dedicated digital media channel — each initiative plays a distinct role in elevating the conversation around skills and turning awareness into real opportunity.
Dedicated to raising the profile and status of skills and vocational learning, dispelling outdated myths and showcasing the attractive career opportunities for all Australians. Now in its 16th year, the week brings together government, industry, education providers and communities to celebrate and champion VET.

Testimonials
Hear from apprentices, employers, and training providers who are building Australia's skilled workforce.

"Skills are the backbone of NSW, and we're backing our apprentices, trainees and students this National Skills Week. Every apprenticeship and traineeship completed is another win for our communities and economy. Skills open doors and training builds futures."
"National Skills Week is a celebration of the power of vocational education and training to transform careers, communities and the Victorian economy. Events like this remind us why investing in skills-based pathways matters so deeply for Australia's future."
