FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SkillsOne Connect: New National Platform to Bridge the Gap Between Apprenticeship Seekers and Employers
Launching 2026 | Australia-Wide
SkillsOne today announced the upcoming launch of SkillsOne Connect, a national digital platform designed to link students, jobseekers and career changers with real apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities across Australia.
SkillsOne Connect represents the next evolution of SkillsOne's mission, moving beyond awareness and into practical action. For the first time, Australians exploring skills-based careers will have a single, trusted destination to discover curated job listings, access guided pathways, and connect directly with employers, Group Training Organisations (GTOs), and registered training providers.
Addressing a Critical Gap in the VET Ecosystem
Despite strong demand for skilled workers across construction, manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and the trades, many Australians, particularly young people, school leavers, and career changers, struggle to navigate the apprenticeship and traineeship landscape. SkillsOne Connect is designed to remove that friction.
"We've spent nearly two decades telling the stories of skilled Australians and the employers who invest in them," said the SkillsOne team. "SkillsOne Connect is the natural next step, turning that awareness into real opportunity. We're building the bridge between inspiration and action."
Platform Features
SkillsOne Connect will provide curated apprenticeship and traineeship listings from employers, GTOs and training providers, guided career pathway tools to help users identify the right trade or skill area, direct connection to employment and learning opportunities across all sectors, and practical support resources for first-time apprenticeship seekers and career changers.
For Employers and Training Providers
SkillsOne Connect will offer industry partners a direct channel to reach motivated, skills-ready candidates. Employers and GTOs will be able to list opportunities, promote their organisation, and access a qualified pipeline of applicants actively seeking apprenticeship and traineeship pathways.
