The Skills Insight team are consulting with training providers and industry to explore the unique issues impacting the VET workforce in regional, rural and remote areas. 

RTOs are crucial in supporting  industries to develop a skilled workforce that can safely and efficiently complete work. In order to continue doing this, training providers need their own workforce of experienced and dedicated trainers and assessors. 

This project will look into ways of attracting and retaining educators across 13 sectors within the agribusiness, fibre, furnishing, food, animal and environment care industries.  

The project’s findings and potential solutions will support the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations’ (DEWR) VET Workforce Blueprint, which identifies opportunities to grow, retain and develop the VET Workforce across Australia.
