3. Who We Are? 3 Manufacturing Skills Australia (MSA) is the national body responsible for ensuring that manufacturing enterprises have the workforce skills they need to be globally competitive now and into the future. We work with enterprises, employer and industry associations, trade unions and industry advisory bodies to identify what skills are needed and how these can most effectively be implemented in industry. We are a national Industry Skills Council (ISC), owned by industry and managed by a Board from across industry, funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Industry.

4. MSAs coverage 4 MSA addresses the skill needs of over 250,000 manufacturing and related enterprises and around one million Australians who are employed using manufacturing skills. We work across most manufacturing sectors, including: aerospace furnishing laboratory operations metal, engineering and boating process manufacturing, including chemicals, hydrocarbons, mineral products, plastics, rubber and cablemaking recreational vehicles textiles, clothing and footwear.

5. 5 The 2014 landscape for manufacturing in Australia has changed radically since the GFC hit in 2009 and put enterprises under extreme pressure to adapt and reinvent across product lines, processes and business models. This pressure has intensified over the last 12 months and we have seen winners emerge in niche, high value add areas, and we have seen more losses in the large- scale manufacturing areas - automotive being particularly significant.

If we don’t have the skills we need, when we need them, we will simply be left behind. To meet this demand, we need to make changes now, for the workforce of the future.” Bob Paton, CEO, MSA
