National Skills Week is underway from 24–30 August 2026, shining a spotlight
on the important role vocational education and training plays in developing Australia’s skilled workforce.
This year’s theme, “Life Changing”, recognises the impact that practical,
industry-relevant training can have on individuals, businesses and entire industries.
From apprentices beginning their careers to experienced workers building new capabilities,
vocational education provides pathways into meaningful careers while helping employers
develop the skills they need for the future.
For the automotive industry, developing a strong pipeline of skilled workers remains critical.
As vehicles, technology and customer expectations continue to evolve, businesses need access
to quality training that reflects the realities of the modern workplace.
MTA NSW Training works directly with automotive businesses and apprentices
to deliver industry-led, workplace-based training supported by experienced trainers who
understand the sector.
National Skills Week provides an opportunity to recognise theapprentices, employers and
trainers investing in the future of automotive, while encouraging more people to consider
the diverse career opportunities available through vocational education and training.
By continuing to invest in skills and apprenticeships, we can help build a capable, adaptable
workforce and support a stronger automotive industry for the future.
