The Digital Skills Organisation, otherwise known as DSO, is one of three Pilot Skills Organisations established by DESE as recommended by the Joyce Review into the Australian VET sector. The Pilot Skills Organisations were established to create greater alignment between industry and employers, and to provide an innovative approach to training graduates of the VET sector.
DSO was established as an incorporated entity in 2020, but it continues to be funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment through the Delivering Skills for Today and Tomorrow package.
contentgroup was initially engaged to draft a communication and stakeholder engagement strategy as well as a tone of voice for the nascent DSO. After the delivery of this piece of work, DSO continued to engage contentgroup through DESE. Our team of graphic designers worked on a compelling visual identity for the organisation, and a Senior Communication Strategist acted as a part-time Communication Manager for the organisation, co-ordinating all communication activities including a website build, copywriting and establishing initial communication products.
