Micro-credentials

The Aquaculture and Agriculture Tech Skills Hub

About the program

The Aquaculture and Agriculture Tech Skills Hub is jointly funded by the Australian Government under the Regional Recovery Partnerships, Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) and Regional Development Australia, and is being delivered in partnership with the Queensland Government, TAFE Queensland and Central Queensland University Australia to support existing plans and priorities within the region.

The partnership has been working with industry experts, community organisations and government since early 2022 to establish and support new ways of attracting, skilling, upskilling, retaining and growing local workforces through the identification of a broad suite of new and updated skills and workforce programs.

The implementation of pilot programs will enable a range of cohorts, particularly in regional locations, to acquire new skills. TAFE Queensland and CQUniversity as education partners, are seeking expressions of interest to participate in training, at no cost to participants.

Delivery dates and modes will be dependent on the review and award of EOI applications. Placements will be determined through the Aquaculture and Agriculture Tech Skills Hub Management Committee.
