What is an ITO?
Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) are set up by industry but recognised by government. They coordinate training on behalf of those industries, but also involve many other parties, including education and training providers, funders and government.
ITOs have three core roles:
1. provide information about industry skill demand – to increase the real power of students, employers and industry, and to inform providers
2. define national skill standards and qualifications required by industry – ensuring the value and relevance of investment in education and training
3. broker training to meet the needs of employees in industry – linking individual workplace learning to national industry skill needs.
