Australia is keen to work with India in the establishment of Sector Skills Council, said Australia's Minister for Skills and Jobs, Senator Mr Chris Evans.

“We are keen to explore possibilities for collaboration between Australia and India and to share expertise and experiences,” said Mr Evans at a CII event here. The new bilateral Australia India Education Links Web site was one way to share experiences, he said.

The portal supports further education and training collaboration between the two countries' education and training institutions, business and industry. The Bureau for Vocational Education and Training Collaboration was a forum for facilitating linkages in the skills area.

“There is enormous value in industry collaboration as our nations seek to build the high skilled and well trained workforces we need to meet demand in our growing economies,” he said.
