National Seafood Industry Leadership Program: 2009-2011

Funded Activity Summary

The need for this project has been suggested in the above sections but there is further evidence of need provided by the goals of the FRDC’s People Development Program. The program states the need to develop the capabilities of the people through building capacity through a three year National Seafood Industry Leadership Program (NSILP).

This project will directly contribute to the delivery of the People Development Program 2008 – 2013 prepared for FRDC by Jo-Anne Ruscoe. The NSILP will ensure outputs that address some of the goals and objectives of the People Development Program:

1. enhance industry leadership within all sectors;
2. build industry capacity to drive change to achieve goals

The Industry Leaders Enhancement Project has parallel drivers and will specifically address

1. The shortage of industry leaders in all sectors of the fishing industry.
2. The need to develop people within all sectors who have the skills to effectively contribute to debate and policy development for significant challenges, including access to fish resources.
3. The opportunities for people in industry to develop skills that are going to directly improve business profitability and sustainability.
4. The contribution in the uptake of formal training, and in particular apprenticeships.
5. The enhanced knowledge of decision makers in a complex industry through accurate information and knowledge.
