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.
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
