Need

These same issues are impacting on the broader industry. The seafood industry requires solid intelligence in order to build a case for DEEWR's priority training places, as well as inform DEEWR generally on industry trends and needs. Secondly, the current state of communication between AFISC and its seafood standing committee is preventing effective consultation on workforce and training needs, and training package review.
For some time, this situation has been worsening and the FRDC is in a position to demonstrate leadership and facilitate a way forward in collaboration with AFISC and other stakeholders.

Objectives

1. To provide support and leadership for a Seafood Industry Workforce and Skills Summit
2. To confirm national priorities for workforce and skills development
and identify appropriate parties to drive and contribute to these
3. To build understanding of the roles and responsbilities of key organisations
4. To improve communication and trust within the sector
5. To enhance understanding of the seafood industry's strengths and needs for workforce development within government, and its agencies
6. To support the sector to identify the necessary frameworks to support industry skills and workforce development into the future

Need

The seafood industry operates in a diverse and dynamic environment and although the volume produced in Australia is small by world standards, the quality of our product and sustainability of our practices are globally recognised. For the seafood industry to continue to be a world leader in seafood production and quality there must be an opportunity to learn from each other and plan for the future.

The role of Seafood Directions is to provide an opportunity for stakeholders of the seafood industry to review and discuss priority issues and future planning and development.

This need is supported by key stakeholders of the seafood industry, as is evident by the number of delegates previously attending the biennial conference.

Despite several successful Seafood Directions conferences there is a need to look at how the conference is run and what its focus is. There is a real need to engage the whole supply chain sector from fisher to consumer.

Objectives

1. Plan and deliver the sixth Seafood Directions conference in Victoria 2009
2. Increase the attendance of industry members, to include members from other sectors within the seafood industry.
