Industry Group Description
Jobseekers in these industries require more specialised training than ever before as a result of changes in farming practices, in technology, environmental requirements and community perceptions. Evolving job roles require higher technical orientated skills, including climate change, irrigation and adaption strategies. This has led to changing career prospects for people seeking employment in these industries. Technological and societal changes, including sustainable management of land, water and vegetation have led to biotechnical innovations, crop and grain improvement, biological testing, agricultural biotechnology, aquaculture and animal welfare. Australia requires environmentally sustainable industries that will lead to increasing opportunities in environmental consulting, ecosystem management, services to agriculture, fisheries and water technologies. TAFE SA training in these areas can lead to careers in animal attending, animal technology, laboratory technology, veterinary nursing, agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, wool industry, horse racing industry, conservation and natural resource management.
