New Projects Approved for Forest and Timber Industry

We are excited about working with industry and IRCs on a new round of projects in the forestry and wood product industry. The three new projects approved by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee, will focus on the following solutions to current skills needs:

  • Review Qualifications to Attract New Entrants – a revision of entry level qualifications so they can be delivered in a school environment.
  • Review of High-Level Jobs in Forestry – a comprehensive analysis of skills and knowledge required by foresters to manage public and private forests, including review of three high level qualifications and 52 units of competency​​​​​.
  • Safety Mindsets in Remote Operations – the proposed development of a skill set and up to two new units of competency for operators, relating to shaping and sustaining safety culture and practices whilst working in remote high-risk operations.

There will be opportunities to feedback throughout the duration of each project. Details will be shared through this newsletter. Please feel free to pass on this information to colleagues. You are also welcome to contact us about the projects.
