Process Manufacturing, Recreational Vehicle and Laboratory Industry Reference Committee

The AISC is pleased to call for nominations from industry stakeholders for membership of the Process Manufacturing, Recreational Vehicle and Laboratory Industry Reference Committee (IRC). Nominations close COB Friday 24 February 2017 and instructions on how to nominate are set out below.

The Process Manufacturing, Recreational Vehicle and Laboratory IRC will have responsibility for national training package qualifications relevant to:

• MSL Training Package
• MSM Training Package
• PMA Training Package
• PMB Training Package
• PMC Training Package

The AISC seeks to ensure that the membership of the Process Manufacturing, Recreational Vehicle and Laboratory IRC, provides the best possible industry coverage and expertise to support training package development for the industry. The Committee is looking for individuals with extensive experience in, and knowledge of, their industry sector, with the capacity to proactively apply these attributes to the work of the IRC.

When considering nominations, the AISC is interested in:

• the level of influence the nominee has across the sector and how they are perceived in relation to industry-wide issues
• the capacity of the nominee to consider current and future directions/influences for their industry and to relate those factors to workforce development and skills needs
• the capability of the nominee to provide input directly, to seek input from others, and to represent a variety of circumstances across the industry.

In determining the final membership, the AISC will consider both the characteristics of nominees
(as set out in their nomination) as well as the composition of the committee as a whole to ensure it is appropriate to the Process Manufacturing, Recreational Vehicle and Laboratory industries.
For example, the Committee is looking not only for industry expertise, but also to ensure the IRC has an appropriate geographic and demographic balance.

Please note that while it may not be possible to include every nominee on the IRC, it is important to remember that the Skills Service Organisation, IBSA and the IRC will consult widely during the training package development process and will be supported by Technical Advisory Committee members who may be consulted on technical and related specific industry information on an as-needs basis to support the decision-making of the committee.

Further information about the role of IRCs and how they will operate can be found in the IRC operating framework.

IRC Structure - Feedback

The draft structure for the Process Manufacturing, Recreational Vehicle and Laboratory IRC was published on this website on 17 November 2016, providing an opportunity for industry to comment on whether the structure would adequately represent the industry. The AISC welcomed the comments received from a range of stakeholders that the structure was largely appropriate for the sector and should proceed to nominations.

In response to feedback, the addition of industry expertise positions and a representative from the Industry Growth Centre were included in the structure.
