The Food and Fibre sector claims the education system is letting it down.
Leaders from farming, forestry, horticulture, and seafood have joined forces to launch a Food and Fibre Workforce Capability Strategy.
They’re pushing for tertiary education reform —with an employer-led, work-based learning model— to match real industry demands.
