2012 Conference - Workforce development and the Australian Meat Industry
The meat industry recognises the need to attract, develop and retain a productive workforce as critical to the future success and viability of our industry. However, we continue to operate an environment of low unemployment, shortages of skilled labour and an increasing diversification of our workforce.
This conference is a must for industry HR managers, trainers and others as we explore the implications of trends in federal policies; look at the workforce development solutions adopted by some enterprises; and unpack the challenges for industry trainers.
Features of the conference include:
- Workforce Development keynote address from Dr Caroline Smith, Director Skills and Workforce Development Policy, Skills Australia
- Second keynote address on the implications of the No More Excuses report
- Concurrent presentation and workshop sessions: Diversifying the workforce, Workforce development, Critical Issues and emerging challenges
- Panel sessions on the issues of national training policies and the implications of the increasing employment of backpackers in the meat industry
- 'The Burning Question' Q and A session - answering your questions
- Announcement of the winners of the MINTRAC Training Awards
- Conference dinner with surprise entertainment.
The burning question - you ask the questions
This year the final panel session will address questions raised by the delegates. All delegates are invited to raise questions about any topic they like - national training policy; MINTRAC activities; key meat industry training issues etc. Some participants will be invited to ask their questions 'live' while others will be read out by the facilitator. While we will endeavour to raise as many questions as possible, we cannot promise to cover all questions submitted.
