Workforce Planning Coordinator Project:

The NT Farmers Workforce Planning Coordinator project has been funded by the NT Department of Primary Industries & Resources until 30 June 2020. 

The project is quite broad and includes supporting agribusiness management;

• with the necessary tools and information to implement employment practices that comply with workplace relations laws and industry standards
• coordinating training for upskilling of both management and staff
• by identifying employers needs & workforce gaps
• by collating labour force statistics and information from in-field operations to influence policy and regulatory improvements e.g. visa reform.
• by representing NT Farmers nationally, contributing high quality advice
• to source international labour

Other tasks include improving career pathways in the NT agriculture industry, undertaking activities that attract Territorians to consider and embark on a career in horticulture or agriculture and promoting the industry to potential employees.
