About the program
The Aquaculture and Agriculture Tech Skills Hub was jointly funded by the Australian Government under the Regional Recovery Partnerships, Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3), and Regional Development Australia. It was delivered in partnership with the Queensland Government, TAFE Queensland, and CQUniversity Australia to support regional workforce development priorities.
Since early 2022, the partnership has collaborated with industry experts, community organisations, and government to explore new approaches to attracting, skilling, upskilling, retaining, and growing local workforces. This included identifying and delivering a broad suite of new and updated skills and workforce programs.
Funding from the Department of Tourism, Innovation and Sport and the VET Emerging Industries initiative, as part of the Future Skills Fund (Department of Trade, Employment and Training), supported the implementation of pilot programs that enabled existing workers, particularly in regional locations, to acquire new skills.
While the funded phase of the program has now concluded, TAFE Queensland and CQUniversity continue to welcome expressions of interest from individuals and organisations interested in training opportunities. Please note that training is no longer subsidised, and participants may be responsible for associated costs.
We recommend nominating no more than two skill sets per individual. Delivery dates and modes will be determined based on interest and availability.
