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 CQUniversity 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 Department of Tourism, Innovation and Sport and the VET Emerging Industries initiative, as part of the Future Skills Fund (Department of Youth Justice, Employment, Small Business and Training) have committed funding to support the implementation of pilot programs, to enable existing workers, 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.
We recommend nominating no more than two skillsets per individual. Delivery dates and modes will be dependent on the review and award of EOI applications. Placements will be confirmed through the Aquaculture and Agriculture Management Committee.
