Need

The fisheries industry has advisories boards operating independently across regions (eight State based RACs) and industry specific (11 IPA’s). The fishing and aquaculture commodity groups and regions will benefit from a shared understanding of the skills capabilities and needs which may not be apparent to individual groups who do not have the across-industry view. A shared understanding will enable the industry to adopt an informed decision making process when deciding priorities and allocating resources for addressing whole of industry workforce development needs.

Objectives

1. A robust matrix informing the FRDC, RACs and IPAs of identified gaps and common capability and skills development needs across sectors and regions, including mapping existing skills and capability development programs and opportunities.

Summary

The project is looking to identify each group’s priorities and where there are areas for potential coinvestment, confirm existing programs to address those people development priorities, and
identify gaps in services that need to be addressed. Fodd and Agribusiness Solutions appointed Ross Ord as the PI on the project. The project commenced early September 2016 with a final report due 28 October
2016.
The outcome is a matrix of skills and capability building priorities across FRDC partners and advisory groups.
The project included the following activities:
  • Desktop research: Examine the extension and adoption plans of the 11 industry partner bodies and the eight Research Advisory Committees. Review recent studies and reports. Document key capability building themes.
  • Data gathering: Develop, pilot and distribute (via FRDC) an on-line survey, with survey questions approved by FRDC. Undertake initial review of results to identify trends and issues. Use this to determine the focus of follow- up stakeholder engagement, including discussions with industry representatives by telephone interviews.
  • Industry forums: Attend the FRDC Stakeholder Annual Planning Workshop in Adelaide 26-27 October 2016. Present initial findings from the data gathering activities and seek feedback and comments from Workshop participants.
  • Analysis: Collate and analyse all qualitative and quantitative data. Identify key themes and areas of commonality.
  • Framework, mapping: Complete a desktop review of existing course offerings that relate to the priorities identified through the research. Examine any data available about course satisfaction. Design and populate the framework/matrix to ensure a consistent platform for reporting and examining input from groups. Map existing courses and programs to identified gaps and common elements.
  • Final Report: To include a key set of insights and recommendations for use by RACs and IPAs in guiding skills and training priorities.

Need

There is a relatively small number of universities, education and training providers offering programs in the fishing and aquaculture industries. There is an absence of consolidated data on, for example who they are, how active they are, the programs they offer, and course participant commencements and completions. The extent to which these providers keep abreast of the latest R&D outcomes, how and where they access information on R&D outcomes and the degree to which the content of their training/education programs include the latest research outcomes is not known.

Understanding the current state of play in the provision and uptake of industry-related training programs will provide valuable information that can be used by FRDC and the fishing and aquaculture industries to make more informed decisions on how to most effectively ensure new R&D outcomes are accessed and used in current course content at universities and in vocational education and training. This could be, for example by developing incentives and close working partnerships with a cadre of active training providers best positioned to include both new industry practices, procedures, etc and the required underpinning knowledge in their training programs.

Due to the time and cost involved in updating course materials there is a limit to the extent well established training and education programs can be continually updated to include the latest R&D outcomes.
A related project activity therefore is to confirm with the industries their most critical and emerging jobs and functions and marry these to the most recent R&D outcomes. These are considered to be of the highest priority for inclusion in some capacity in training and education programs.

Objectives

1. Describe the current situation for delivery of higher and vocational education and training for the seafood industry, including identification of major providers,courses being offered and trends in demand. Content to include available courses, participant numbers, demand, and commencement and completion data
2. Identify how current and/or recent research is extended through vocational and higher education training systems. This will included assessing the range and extent of existing industry training and education courses which make reference to R&D outcomes from FRDC, and feedback from providers about how they retain the currency of their courses and knowledge of teaching staff.
3. Determine those critical jobs and functions in the seafood industry where currency and performance relies on understanding and/or application of R&D outputs.
4. Determine key issues or innovations addressed through FRDC's research portfolio that align with critical jobs and functions in the seafood industry.
5. Provide recommendations to increase currency of training and education with a focus on improving pathways to adoption of knowledge and technologies generated through FRDC's investment in R&D
including development of a plan to improve how FRDC RD&E outputs can delivered through a RTO through a commercialisation agreement. This plan would identify the major RTO/s that FRDC should develop agreements/partnerships with.
