SFIA 9 is now published https://lnkd.in/ec9cu-XD

Wow - what an amazing #SFIA 9 Launch event (AU/NZ) When a Minister tells everyone why the country has adopted SFIA as their skills and competency framework; and the Head of the Digital Profession (AU) says why SFIA is the best framework and enthusiasts about what they have done across public and private sectors with it; and the Deputy Government Chief Digital Officer (NZ) describes their use of SFIA; and a Programme Lead from Department of Defence talks about workforce development and the benefits they have gained ... it's well worth listening. A recording will be available shortly. There are two more launch sessions from the SFIA Foundation today https://lnkd.in/es-yPd4d Both #Australia and #NewZealand have whole-of-country licences for SFIA. To find out more about SFIA, contact The SFIA Foundation, ops@sfia-online.org #skills #digitalskills #upskilling #reskilling #jobmobility

Fantastic to have a Minister explain why #Australia have adopted #SFIA for the whole Country and why others should too. Great SFIA 9 launch event - started in Australia/New Zealand
