FGT recently held workshops updating Tasmanian growers on the latest labour trends influencing the industry. Growers reported favourable productivity by PALM scheme participants and expressed interest in collaborating to provide viable placements, retain skills from season to season and improve portability of key labour. There was advice also for growers engaging with the PALM scheme via an approved Labour Hire company.
Following advice from Fruit Growers Tasmania, the Tasmanian Government continues to be responsive to the needs of the Horticultural Industry.
Roger Jaensch, Minister for Skills, Training and Workforce Growth has confirmed allocation of funding to deliver a program consisting of supervisory training units for up to 125 students.
