About Us

The Industry Training Federation (ITF) is a membership-based organisation, representing Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) to government and working with agencies and sector groups to improve the policy for and delivery of industry skill development and workplace learning.

There are currently 40 ITOs, all of which are represented by the ITF. All ITOs are listed on our Contact an ITO page.
