The Jobs and Education Data Infrastructure (JEDI) project is an Australian Government initiative designed to map skills rather than just careers, helping employers with workforce planning and navigating future work changes. Developed with Relative Creative and PwC Indigenous Consulting, it uses real-time data to support economic transition. [1, 2]
Key aspects of JEDI in Australia include:
- Purpose: It acts as a data tool to understand, plan, and prepare for the future of work, crucial for transitioning to low-carbon economies.
- Focus: It shifts the focus from traditional “careers” to “skills,” allowing for better adaptability and identifying employment opportunities.
- Context: It was developed amid the COVID-19 pandemic to support workforce planning.
- Usage: It is designed for use by employers, employment facilitators, and business owners. [1, 2]
Note: In some Australian contexts, JEDI also refers to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion programs (e.g., WELA JEDI Learning Circles or TechForGood JEDI Policy) or, colloquially, to a large number of Australians claiming “Jedi” as their religion in census data. [1, 2, 3]
