Welcome to the Vehicle Manufacturing (Bus, Truck & Trailer) Industry Advisory Committee page. This page forms one of several web pages dedicated to different parts of the ASA industry advisory structure.
This page is designed to provide advice to the committee members and stakeholders more broadly on the work of the committee and the anticipated work-plan for the future. It also provides access to the Training Package Continuous Improvement Plans, which are a central element in the work of ASA and its committees.
The committee and ASA welcome feedback from stakeholders and welcome inputs into the development of the national training system and national workforce development initiatives.
Feedback from members of industry to join the Sector Advisory Committees has been very positive and a full meeting of all Committee members is planned for September 2011. Applications for Committee positions has been temporarily limited until the Committees meet and make final decisions of the full requirements of each Committee. Your feedback and continued interest in joining the Committees is welcomed and notice of any additional places that may be available will be provided throughout the year.
