About the information + cultural heritage sector
The information sector encompasses careers in libraries and knowledge management and includes responsibility for the care of our cultural heritage. Again new technologies are playing a major role in this sector. Skills in information technology and communications are essential. There are also a range of practical skills in object conservation and preservation that are vital to ensuring that our cultural artefacts are maintained for future generations.
Typically people come to the sector with higher education but VET qualifications are also able to provide suitable pathways into the sector. The Museum, Libraries and Information Services Training Package is currently under review by Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA), the National Skills Council.
