Successful universities announced to deliver Startup Year courses
Eleven universities have been selected to participate in the Startup Year pilot. From 2024, Charles Sturt University, Curtin University, Flinders University, La Trobe University, Queensland University of Technology, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Swinburne University of Technology, The University of New South Wales, The University of Queensland, University of New England, and Western Sydney University will deliver courses under the pilot. Startup Year provides an exciting opportunity for recent graduates, postgraduate and final year undergraduate students to participate in courses to help them develop skills to achieve startup business success. Startups have an important role in job creation, ommercializing ideas, solving social and community-based issues and strengthening links between universities and the community. On average across OECD countries, young firms account for approximately 20 per cent of employment and create almost half of all new jobs. The Tech Council of Australia estimates new technology startups can contribute 30,000 new jobs and $7 billion in value by 2030.Supporting startup creation and the entrepreneurial skillset will play a role in growing productivity and incomes and build a workforce with the skills and capabilities to adapt and thrive in the future labour market.
多所大学成功宣布提供创业年课程
11所大学被选中参加创业年试点。从2024年起，查尔斯·斯特大学、科廷大学、弗林德斯大学、拉筹伯大学、昆士兰理工大学、皇家墨尔本理工学院、斯威本理工大学、新南威尔士大学、昆士兰大学、新英格兰大学和西悉尼大学将在试点下提供课程。创业年为应届毕业生、研究生和最后一年的本科生提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，让他们参加课程，帮助他们发展技能，以实现创业企业的成功。初创企业在创造就业机会、将想法商业化、解决社会和社区问题以及加强大学和社区之间的联系方面发挥着重要作用。平均而言，在经合组织国家，年轻企业约占就业人数的20%，创造了近一半的新就业机会。澳大利亚科技委员会估计，到2030年，新技术初创企业可以贡献3万个新工作岗位和70亿美元的价值。支持初创企业的创建和创业技能将在提高生产率和收入方面发挥作用，并建立一支拥有技能和能力的劳动力队伍，以适应未来的劳动力市场并在其中茁壮成长。

National Skills Passport consultation is now open
The Department of Education and the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations are seeking submissions as part of a consultation to develop a National Skills Passport. The Hon Jason Clare MP, Minister for Education says that “A National Skills Passport will prove to be invaluable to lifelong learners. It has the potential to support upskilling and reskilling and will help learners keep up with a rapidly changing economy. A National Skills Passport has the potential to be a practical solution that helps individuals who choose to participate to take the next step in their education or career. Users could upload, view, share and assess their skills and qualifications across vocational education and training (VET) and higher education. A National Skills Passport could make it simpler for employers to hire new staff with the skills and qualifications they need and encourage lifelong learning. “I encourage all stakeholders to get involved and have a say as the Government moves forward with this innovative idea for a National Skills Passport. Everyone’s vision and ideas will be valued” said Minister Clare.
