Meat Industry Reference Committee (IRC) Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work |
|
IRC Skills Forecasts and Proposed Schedules of Work identify skills gaps and emerging skills needs within training packages. They provide notice to industry, training providers and the system about what is being considered for future development. The consultation period for the Meat IRC Skills Forecast and Proposed Schedule of Work closed at the end of March 2017. A range of development priorities were identified and prioritised by the Meat IRC and are now being incorporated into the final version of the Schedule of Work. The IRC Skills Forecasts and Proposed Schedules of Work will be submitted to the Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) on 28 April, which will draw on the information to update the AISC National Schedule of training package development work to determine future Training Package Projects.
