Based on current industry views and evidence from across Australia, this Scan aims to provide a clear understanding of the factors currently shaping and impacting on agrifood workforce development and how training packages and the vocational education and training (VET) system more broadly are responding. A range of topical sources have been drawn upon including industry, enterprise and governmental publications and websites, press releases, current affairs programs such as Landline and Insight, and from on-going visits and conversations with producers and workers throughout the country and across our sectors who continue to experience firsthand the issues needing to be written about. Account has also been taken of comparative international developments. The contents of this Scan include latest intelligence (macro-environment, industry environment and VET environment); workforce development needs; current impact of training packages (formal delivery and unrecognised impact); future directions for agrifood training packages; and continuous improvement of Agrifood Training Packages over the last 12 months.
