Compact Partners

NSW Digital Skills and Workforce Compact Partners

Get involved

The NSW Digital Skills and Workforce Compact (the Compact) is an inclusive cross-sector collaboration working to address NSW’s digital skills needs, and welcomes the involvement of new organisations. The success of the Compact hinges on the diverse contributions from stakeholders across the digital landscape, reflecting our commitment to benefit all citizens, organisations, and employers impacted by the digital skills shortage.

Joining the Compact offers two distinct levels of participation, each fostering collaboration and expertise exchange on a voluntary basis.

Stage 1: Digital Compact Contributor

Organisations new to the Compact begin their involvement by applying to become Compact Contributors. Here’s what it entails:

• Nominate one or more projects you would like to participate in.
• Showcase how your organisation’s strengths, resources, and expertise align with your nominated projects in your application.
• Your application will be submitted to the relevant Project Chairs, who will assess it with consideration towards their team’s capacity and skill gaps. If your organisation is unable to join during this first stage, there may be an opportunity to join further along in the Compact’s lifecycle.

Stage 2: Digital Compact Partner

For Compact Contributors dedicated to sustained involvement and embodying the Compact’s ethos, there’s an opportunity to advance to Compact Partner status. Here's what it entails:

• Applications for Compact Partner status undergo review by the Compact’s Steering Committee every 2-4 months.
• Formal recognition in Compact branding, communications, engagement, and governance awaits successful applicants.

Application Process

Interested Contributors and potential Partners can apply by completing this application form. The NSW Department of Education’s Compact Enablement Team will arrange an initial briefing.
