Many regions and industry sectors are experiencing significant expansion with major developments and it is important that the services, infrastructure and workforce matches future requirements. This means understanding industry workforce needs for enterprises, sectors and regions, critical job roles and capabilities. Hear how education, employers, entrepreneurs, government, industry and regional agencies are collaborating to build strong local economies by identifying workforce and skills needs, job opportunities and co-designing innovative programs. In this session, practical examples of regions and towns will be shared from around Australia where the community is collaborating to address unemployment, low participation, disengagement and lack of specific skills. See how towns can turn themselves around with export and international recognition, attracting investment and overseas delegations, boosting SMEs and encouraging entrepreneurship all with a ‘growth hacking’ approach.

Editor's Notes
- Story to begin… Many regions and industry sectors are experiencing significant expansion with major developments and it is important that the services, infrastructure and workforce matches future requirements. This means understanding industry workforce needs for enterprises, sectors and regions, critical job roles and capabilities. Hear how education, employers, entrepreneurs, government, industry and regional agencies are collaborating to build strong local economies by identifying workforce and skills needs, job opportunities and co-designing innovative programs. In this session, practical examples of regions and towns will be shared from around Australia where the community is collaborating to address unemployment, low participation, disengagement and lack of specific skills. See how towns can turn themselves around with export and international recognition, attracting investment and overseas delegations, boosting SMEs and encouraging entrepreneurship all with a ‘growth hacking’ approach.
- 2,134 in the town centre 3,749 in the statistical local area Back in 2014, a “Celebrating Innovation Sunraysia Agribusiness Summit’ was held with sessions including ‘The changing nature of workforce development in Australian Agribusiness – Building the skills base of Sunraysia’. The momentum from the forum and the identification by industry, employers, education providers and community stakeholders spurred on the development of the strategy and action plan.
- The aim of the Robinvale Agribusiness Workforce Development Strategy will be to provide a strategic approach to ensure the Robinvale region has a highly competent agricultural workforce now and in the future. Clearly document for participating businesses their: Workforce profile Management Staff Contractors Current workforce skill needs Entry level skill requirements With direction from local industry, identify entry level skill and education requirements for workforce roles Recommend/develop a skills assessment process/tools for use by employers With employers consent, provide a consolidated document of workforce profiles within the Robinvale region to provide strategic direction for local education providers.
- Link to ABC story on Australia wide: http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-02-24/australia-wide-february-25/8300528 “No-one wants a mismatch between the local community where there is high unemployment but many jobs available.” What kind of workforce do you need for the future? Very collaborative in their approach working out what the critical job roles, and the skills required, opening up their doors. Now there is a Regional Workforce Action Plan with business, education and the community involved. Existing: Agronomy Cadetships Certificate IV in Irrigation – OLAM Leadership, emotional intelligence & team engagement Sunraysia Agribusiness Round Table Sunraysia Agribusiness Summit Work Inspiration New: Food to Asia Skills Framework Australia Award Fellowships Industry Skills Fund Digital skills development (in context) How to train/instruct others on the job Technical skills & short courses – first aid, plants – diseases & pests, soils, welding Quality assurance & process innovation (project based learning) Australian Apprenticeships (incl School Based) VET in Schools Recognition of Prior Learning Work experience/placement Coaching and mentoring Work based learning projects Networks &/or Communities of Practice
- A recent dinner in Euston on 1 March 2017 was a highlight as it was an opportunity to celebrate all that the region has achieved in implementing the Robinvale Agribusiness Workforce Development Strategy. The themes from the 100 people in attendance (10 tables) are listed below; 1. The need to continue the lobbying for the development of the Community Hub at Robinvale College – Phases two (Community School Library / Cultural Centre) and three (Trade Training Centre which meets industry needs in the region and students interest). 2. The need to develop and implement a strategy that will enhance the provision of childcare in Robinvale / Euston townships. This is of critical IMPORTANCE if industry is to attract skilled staff to the region and retain the current workforce in the region. 3. The need for a housing summit with a key output being the development of a housing strategy for Robinvale / Euston region. The summit should look at affordable housing, rural living, worker accommodation – including on farm, backpacker etc, issues associated with the take up of land within housing developments, the attraction of developers to the region etc. 4. The need for a high-level skills leadership group across Robinvale – Euston that will conduct research (actual population of Robinvale / Euston), map inputs, develop a prospectus / marketing strategy, champion increased skills development of the people in the region etc. Must be representative of the key interests / sectors of the community. Will need to be resourced – secretariat etc. Mixture of local government / corporates / service sector / business / community champions etc It is recommended therefore that the Robinvale / Euston Vision of the Region 2025 Outcomes Report be distributed to all those who attended the evening and those who requested a copy of any documentation (people who couldn’t make it on the night, but were invited), to both local governments, to both the Victorian and New South Wales relevant departments and also to the Loddon Mallee RDA Committee.
- What are some of the things you and your colleagues would need to understand?
- Robots in conversation with each other and humans – on show at the Japan House at SXsw Local Roots – farm in a truck- at the SXSWexpo The Future of Driverless Cars at SXSW – guy has invented a hardware kit that fits into cars made after 2006 that makes it driverless Kasita is a startup based in Austin that makes tiny smart homes where the founder lived in a recycled dumpster to figure out the best way to design a tiny space – that is commitment!
- You must be able to sell stuff and develop stuff On display at the SXSW Job Market… and what is the #1 job for career resilience? http://www.sxsw.com/exhibitions/job-market And if you don’t want to work for someone else then you can be your own boss!
- For career resilience = Entrepreneur – starting you own business, working in a startup/for en entrepreneur but more broadly entrepreneurial skills applied as an intraprenuer, social entrepreneur, in government and large corporates alike because it is all about the 21st Century capabilities – see next 2 slides Like Gary Vee https://www.facebook.com/gary/videos/10153988204943350/?pnref=story
- What are your critical job roles?
- Evaluate and address the gaps… Agriculture as a tourism experience, food, wine, ecotourism Exporting value added produce, education & knowledge
