We want to hear from industry.

📣 FFTITC is seeking feedback from employers and industry stakeholders about current workforce and skills pressures across the Food, Fibre and Timber industries.

🏇 🦺 👩‍💼 We want to better understand which occupations and skills are difficult to find, what is affecting workforce supply, what training and workforce solutions are needed, and how business and consumer confidence is influencing recruitment and future workforce decisions.

Your feedback will help us identify emerging workforce priorities and inform our advice to government, the training sector and other stakeholders.

The survey is short (6-7 questions) and should only take a few minutes to complete.

Good reminder... you may be thinking about taking firewood down south for your camping trip - or maybe taking some plants to a friends house in Busselton. Very innocent actions but one that the borers love. Protect our trees and think about what you do with untreated wood, plants and green waste.

Help protect WA’s trees, food and agriculture from polyphagous shot-hole borer 🪲

The borer doesn’t move far on its own but can spread through human movement 🛻

Don’t move untreated wood, green waste and plants outside of the Perth metro area 🪵

Some of these climbers make monkeys look inexperienced (no offence to monkeys). No, honestly - if you want to see expertise in tree climbing or maybe have a young person wondering what career to go into - this may be for you.
