There’s still time to help shape the future of dairy apprenticeships and workforce development.

Next week, dairy farmers, employers, educators and industry stakeholders have an important opportunity to influence the development of a new nationally recognised Agricultural Trade Qualification.

The dairy-focused workshop offers the chance to review the revised draft qualification and new units of competency before they progress towards endorsement and implementation.

The Agriculture Trade Qualification Project aims to support a future national agricultural trade apprenticeship and create clearer career pathways into agriculture. But for the qualification to work for dairy, it needs to reflect the realities of dairy businesses and the skills, knowledge and workforce capabilities the industry needs now and into the future.

Feedback from participants at next week’s workshop will help determine whether the proposed qualification is fit for purpose.

If you work in dairy and want a say in how the industry develops its future workforce, now is the time to get involved. Register to take part next Wednesday: https://assets-oce.mkt.dynamics.com/250a73e0-5bb6-4fd6-a303-58214a4be9b3/digitalassets/standaloneforms/c7373dc4-1856-f011-bec2-6045bde4c058?readableEventId=Agricultural_Trade_Qualification_Consensus_Gathering_Dairy_Production_Focus2851324677&fbclid=IwY2xjawVZ76hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mBXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR9f_2kJmOAes3cf0MCCp1G1w8-tuXuX_ET_6yMlniZ3YnBNi8w2D1NfkjGmSg_aem_Ni8xrtlfYXgho__9oMRYqw
