Craig Watson & Rachel Hill care deeply about the Talent Acquisition Industry in Australia, and we recognise the essential need for improving the standards and professionalism within our sector. Currently, the industry does not have formalised professional qualifications. This gap not only limits career development but also impacts our ability to access training to enhance key skills.

The TA industry is critical for business success. However, without structured training and qualifications, TAs in Australia are missing essential pathways offered to other professions. According to the Productivity Commission’s 'Shifting the Dial: 5 Year Productivity Review', substantial improvements in training and qualifications are integral for Australia's future economic growth. 

Therefore, this petition calls on ASQA to endorse formalised qualifications (in the form of Certificate IV & Diploma) for TAs, developed by the industry, for the industry. Such a system will enhance career development and the overall professionalism within our industry, consequently improving our contribution to Australia's business landscape and Craig Watson and Rachel Hill are committed to driving this change

We need your support. Sign this petition, and let's elevate the TA industry together. Together, we can create a difference in the lives of every TA in Australia, providing qualifications, a clear career pathway, and skills to improve the professionalism of our sector.
