With a focus on three clear goals, Skilling the Bay supports the Geelong community to prepare for the jobs of the future through:
1. Education – Inform and raise educational attainment levels focused on pathways to employment 2. Employment – Increase workforce participation through training and re-skilling 3. Skills Development – Grow existing and emerging industries though targeted skills development
Achievement of the three Skilling the Bay goals for Geelong requires a determined and long term commitment, as well as continued collaboration with delivery partners, industry and community stakeholders.
