About this event
The Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) underpins ICT Services procurement for the Australian Government and Defence in Canberra, but do you fully understand how or why?
How do you apply SFIA? How do you meet SFIA? How is SFIA going to be used going forward by APS and Defence?
Over the years, SFIA framework has been used by Australian government agencies, private enterprises and individuals for workforce planning, recruitment, deployment of staff, and labour hire activities.
Join us to build awareness of the SFIA framework and connect the dots between SFIA, Government and Defence procurement practices, and the APSC job roles matrix.
Do you know that there are around 200 APS Career Pathfinder roles across different job families mapping to the SFIA framework for ICT recruitment and procurement?
The session is designed to enhance awareness and understanding of the SFIA framework. Additionally, we aim to explore its connection with the existing APSC job roles matrix (for both permanent positions and labour hires) and share recommendations and best practices from hiring managers on applying the SFIA framework.

5:30 PM – 5:50 PM (20 min): Arrival & registration. QR code scanning
5:50 PM - 6:00 PM (10 min): MC and introduction
