Identifying jobs in demand

Finding the right skills in the right place at the right time is a challenge.

Each year, Industry Skills Advisory Council NT (ISACNT) consult with NT businesses and peak industry associations to better understand their challenges in attracting, retaining, and upskilling workers.

The intelligence gathered from industry, provides ISACNT with the recommendations for the Northern Territory Government to help inform the annual NT Skilled Occupation Priority List (NT SOPL), and influence government policy and funding decisions that best supports industry.

You can contribute to the development of the 2025 NTSOPL by completing our online  survey.
