In a recent development, the High Commissioner of Australia to India, Philip Green, underscored the immense potential for further collaboration between India and Australia in the realm of skills training. Highlighting sectors such as digital technology, renewable energy, and infrastructure, Green emphasized Australia’s globally competitive skill training programs, developed in close consultation with industry experts, as reported by economictimes.indiatimes.com.

“We aspire to play a more significant role in India’s journey as it addresses its monumental skills demand over the coming decade,” Green expressed during the Australia-India Skills Partnership Summit. Recognizing the pivotal moment for India’s economic growth, Green noted the complementary nature of the two nations’ economies. “We possess many of the skills, resources, and energy sources essential for India’s next phase of development,” the High Commissioner remarked, also noting the substantial presence of over a million people of Indian origin in Australia.

  • The collaboration between Australia and India in the skills training domain not only addresses immediate workforce needs but also lays the foundation for long-term sustainable growth and development

  • By combining Australia’s expertise in skill development with India’s ambitious economic agenda, this partnership stands poised to catalyze innovation, productivity, and prosperity in both nations

Confident in the potential for a robust partnership, Green identified skills and training as a cornerstone of collaboration, citing Australia’s track record of providing skills training to nearly 50 nations worldwide. Currently, a 33-member Australian future skills delegation is actively engaged in India, fostering partnerships with local institutions, universities, and corporate entities.

This delegation forms part of the Australian Government’s Australia-India Future Skills Initiative, a strategic program aimed at supporting Australian skills providers, Indian educational institutions, and corporations in developing collaborative models for skills delivery. The initiative aligns with New Delhi’s objectives of meeting its burgeoning labor force requirements by leveraging international expertise and resources.

The collaboration between Australia and India in the skills training domain not only addresses immediate workforce needs but also lays the foundation for long-term sustainable growth and development. By combining Australia’s expertise in skill development with India’s ambitious economic agenda, this partnership stands poised to catalyze innovation, productivity, and prosperity in both nations.
