Recent work to explore the concept of a trade qualification has revealed strong potential to move forward with developing a trade-level Certificate III qualification through a training package project. With the concept phase now finalised ahead of schedule, Skills Insight has submitted a proposal to the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) to move to qualification development.

The development of an agricultural apprenticeship has involved investigation, including a feasibility study and mapping of career pathways.

Thank you to all stakeholders who have contributed to this program of work. We will provide an update on the full development of the Ag Trade Apprenticeship Qualification when approved to commence.
