Agri-Food Industry Skills Council




National Training Package Review 2006



Feasibility Study into the

Merging of the Rural Production, Amenity Horticulture and  
Conservation and Land Management Training Packages


Stakeholder Consultation Forum




To all Victorian Primary Industries Stakeholders,


As you are probably aware, the Agri-Food Industry Skills Council is  
currently in the process of undertaking a review of a number of  
National Training Packages in the Primary Industries.  As part of  
this review, a feasibility study into the rationalizing of three  
Training Packages RTE03 (Rural Production), RTF03 (Amenity  
Horticulture) and RTD02 (CLM) into a single package has been launched.


A series of consultations will take place in each state with the  
Victorian Stakeholder Consultation meeting to be held on Monday 9th  
October, 2006 at the Darebin Arts Centre in Preston, Victoria.


Stakeholder groups include (but are not limited to):

-         Employers and employees

-         Industry Organisations

-         Employer and employee representative bodies

-         Government departments

-         Registered Training Organisations (public and private)

-         Schools

-         Trainers and assessors


Primary Skills Victoria has been asked to assist in the organising of  
this event on behalf of the Agri-Food Industry Skills Council and  
Training Package Review Consultant, Barbara Bishop, from the  
Queensland Rural Industries Training Council who will be conducting  
the forum.


We will be distributing this notice across a number of stakeholder  
networks and would like to strongly encourage all persons who have an  
interest in primary industries training in Victoria to attend.  While  
the sectors of agriculture, horticulture and conservation, land &  
natural resource management are immediately affected by the outcomes  
of this study, other sector stakeholders may find it useful to  
observe the processes and issues which arise and the possible  
implications for related sectors.


Also distributed with this letter is an event notice, agenda and  
discussion paper/focus question document which is also available for  
view on the AFISC Website www.agrifoodskills.net.au.  Please feel  
free to forward these documents on to anyone you think might also be  
interested.
