You are invited to review draft qualifications, skill sets and units of competency for the seafood and aquaculture industry.

Your input is important for the future of training, and therefore industry skills, safety and productivity. It is important that these documents reflect real work experience.

We are seeking your feedback on whether these documents reflect current industry skills standards, knowledge and practices and whether all job functions are accurately described.

They have been reviewed and developed as part of two projects:

• Aquaculture, Fishing Operations & Biosecurity Project – incorporating skills to address changes in technology, legislative and regulatory requirements and environmental sustainability and management. The project also includes a review of qualifications and units directly related to biosecurity, in areas such as infection control, imports, exports, diseases and management.
• Seafood Post Harvest Project – incorporating skills to address changes in distribution, processing, storage, fishing and environmental management.

The draft qualifications, skill sets and units will be available on the Skills Impact website for feedback until 19 August 2018.

Please follow the links to the project webpages below.

2. Find and view the draft document(s) you would like to review by clicking on the expandable document menus.
