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 business and peak industry bodies to better understand their challenges in attracting, retaining, and upskilling workers. 


Based off this research, ISACNT provides recommendations to the NT Government to inform the NT Skilled Occupation Priority List (NTSOPL).


ISACNT’s recommendations can influence the allocation of NT Government funds for skilling and workforce development initiatives such as school-based pathways, apprenticeships and traineeships, attraction and relocation assistance programs, migration matters and increasing focus on emerging skill needs.   


You can contribute in the development of the 2026 NTSOPL by completing our online survey.
