Agriculture workforce assistance

Program helping Qlders into good jobs in agriculture extended

Queensland’s Rural Jobs Initiatives, which support Queensland agribusiness to attract, train and retain workers for good jobs in agriculture, will be renewed for the next three years.

The Queensland Agriculture Workforce Network (QAWN) has dedicated officers who provide advice on workforce services and initiatives to all Queensland agribusinesses, regardless of commodity or organisation membership.

This is a free service available to agribusinesses with operations in Queensland.

These services and initiatives include:

• workforce planning advice
• sourcing labour and skilled workers
• recruitment
• induction requirements
• funded training opportunities.

Agriculture workforce officers have links with employment and training service providers across Queensland. They can help agribusinesses understand available options and strategies to identify and meet future workforce needs.

There are currently 7 agriculture workforce officers in Queensland. Learn more about the officer for your region and see how to contact them here »
