Workers and employers in Tasmania's horticulture industries will soon be able to take advantage of a skills training program to attract and develop staff.
Developed by FGT and TasTAFE as the entry level training , the program offers skills training for new and existing employees, as well as a pathway into employment for Tasmanian residents seeking ongoing employment within the agriculture sector.
After working cooperatively with TasTAFE for a number of months, TasTAFE have agreed to bring 10 units together in a single discounted Agriskills Entry Program. This program will provide the entry level skills growers have called for over a number of years and enable their current and prospective employees to be ‘job ready’!
With the imminent availability of this program, FGT is looking for early feedback from growers about the number of people they wish to attend the program/individual skills sets, as well as preferred location and month.
