Reviewing entry requirements and pathway information for 3 EV Skill Sets
This project will review the entry requirements and pathway information for 3 AUR electric vehicle skill sets. The review aims to enable cross-sector entry for tradespeople from related industries.
The following skill sets will be reviewed:
- AURSS00037 Hybrid Electric Vehicle Inspection and Servicing Skill Set
- AURSS00063 Battery Electric Vehicle Diagnose and Repair Skill Set
- AURSS00064 Battery Electric Vehicle Inspection and Servicing Skill Set
The review will focus on whether the entry requirements and pathway information for these skill sets should be expanded to include other training packages to support cross-sector mobility and upskilling.
