About the FFTITC

The Food, Fibre and Timber Industries Training Council is one of eight Training Councils (covering different industries) that provides strategic information and advice to the WA Government on industry workforce development and training needs including skill shortages. We gather information and make recommendations to Government, specifically the State Training Board and Department of Workforce Training and Development (DTWD) to support our industries skill development needs.

Every day our council engages with industry stakeholders, including RTOs, career aspirants and others who have a vested interest in workforce training and skill development to gather and report on:

Industry trends and developments in workforce and labour market issues
Industry skill needs, priorities and skill development issues
Concerns or suggestions for funded training in Western Australia, including that of apprenticeships and traineeships.

Each industry Skills Network Group, of which there are eight, provides stakeholders an opportunity to contribute to influencing decision making at the highest level of government on matters of training and workforce development. These are, Agriculture & Production Horticulture, Animal Care & Management, Forestry & Wood Products, Landscape Horticulture and Green Trades, Manufactured Textiles & Fashion, Meat & Seafood, Racing & Horse Breeding, and Sustainable Furnishings.

The Skills Network Group is an environment for stakeholders to collaborate, share information and discuss issues affecting labour skill shortages and training / upskilling in Western Australia. The aim is to generate a united voice that resonates with industry and government to advance workforce development in the food, fibre and timber industries.
