SkillsOne™ is an initiative of The Institute for Trade Skills Excellence aimed at raising the profile and status of trades. SkillsOne TV airs nationally on Foxtel/Austar (Aurora Channel 183) each week in a block of programs presented as a branded channel and full broadband website at featuring videos, rich content and resources at www.skillsone.com.au

With the skills shortage being a major issue for Australia, most agree on the importance of highlighting the benefits and opportunities of doing a trade to young people – many of whom have been raised to believe that University is the only option.

Using the engaging medium of television and convenience of the Internet, SkillsOne shows that trade skills today present new and different career options and many traditional industries are now highly technologised, innovative and exciting.

SkillsOne tells real stories about real people who are passionate about what they do, the exciting career opportunities available across many industries and the skills in high-demand in the 21st century


SkillsOne provides informative and helpful content for career counsellors, parents and students as well as a unique opportunity for industry groups, corporations, training bodies and individuals to get involved in addressing skills shortages in their industries.
