Training

Many Australian industries have developed aquaculture training packages in recent years. These packages are based on workplace skills (called competencies) of the people who work in the industry. As part of the Australian Seafood Industry Training Package, the aquaculture industry is now developing a training package which encompass a full range of workplace tasks. The key benefit of this package will be the provision of consistent training across all Australia.
