PRODUCT, TERTIARY EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

Product thinking for the systems that train people, employ them and equip them.

SkillsJewels brings product thinking (strategy, development and advisory) to the places where tertiary education, employment services and technology meet. We work with universities and TAFEs, employment service providers, government and tech businesses to decide what to build, build it, and make it hold.

15+ years leading product in digital, data and education, including universities, consumer marketplaces, telcos, media and commercial data.

Product experience at Envato, RMIT Online, Sensis, Dun & Bradstreet and Veda (now Equifax).

Where we work

Three industries where the systems are complex and the stakes are public: employment services, tertiary education and digital. Three services that work across all of them: product strategy, product development and advisory.

Industries

Employment Services

The bridge between tertiary education and Australia's reformed employment services system.
