Construction Training Fund
480. Hon Julie Freeman to
the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Skills and TAFE:
I refer to the
Construction Training Fund, which plays a key role in ensuring Western
Australia's building and construction industry can meet workforce demands and
support a safe, sustainable future for those working in the sector.
(1) Given the ongoing labour shortages and
training needs in the agricultural sector, why is there no equivalent fund or
structured initiative to attract, train and retrain workers in agriculture?
(2) Has the government considered establishing a
dedicated agricultural training fund or similar mechanism to support skills
development workforce planning and career pathways in agriculture?
(3) If no to (2), why not?

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. Honourable member, that response
is not in my file. I am struggling to get it. If it comes in in the next
minute, I will provide it and, if not, I will provide it out of session to the
member and I will provide it to the house the next time we sit.
