The Board was established to identify
current and future vocational education and training needs of agriculture,
horticulture, fishing industry and animal care & management. It is funded
jointly by government and industry. Membership is drawn from industry,
government and unions.
The Board also works closely with training providers to make training
more accessible by promoting the benefits of training for career
achievement and success in business.
The Board exists as part of a network of advisory bodies covering all
States and Territories. This network is recognised by State and Federal
governments as the peak advisory body on training matters on behalf of
industry.
Our organisation works to improve training by regular industry
consultation, analysing future needs of primary industries and survey and
research projects so as to ensure appropriate training is available for
people in our industries, inform employers and students about training
options and make sure training meets industry needs.
We also work towards increasing participation in training by marketing
and promoting new training programs, demonstrating the benefits of
training and increasing industry's access to training so as to enable
people to take full advantage of flexible training options and increase
industry profitability and productivity.
The Board staff monitor and assess the quality of training being delivered by
regular consultation with the training provider network and working with
industry members to implement effective training assessment.
We also influence the training system by arguing for increased training
resources from state government and establishing industry committees to
resolve training issues to achieve an industry-directed training system.
Primary Skills Victoria, as a part of its communication with
stakeholders, is producing regular newsletters with the banner of
