Gippsland: VET Workforce Networking Roundtable
2026-05-12 10:00 - 15:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | TBC
As part of Stream Three of this project, a Workforce Development Framework will be created, providing a guide for employers and RTOs to work together to grow a fit-for-purpose VET workforce for their region. The framework will connect each stage of career development – from mentor to supervisor to VET educator – with practical actions, existing resources and potential partnerships. It will be designed to be adaptable to the needs of different regional, rural, and remote communities.
Stakeholders are invited to participate in co-design of the Framework by attending roundtable and networking events being held online and around the country in early 2026.
You’re invited to participate in a roundtable and networking event designed to provide opportunities to contribute to several related projects and support the development of local connections.
Employers, training providers, industry partners, business support services, local government, and community organisations are encouraged to join this vital conversation.
You’re welcome to join for the full day or just take part in sessions relevant to you. Register to secure your place, and we’ll share detailed information closer to the date.

The Australian Society of Agronomy’s 2026 conference in Darwin on August 24–28 will have a special focus on agronomy in horticulture.

The conference will be held at Charles Darwin University’s newly opened CBD Danala Campus, followed by a range of unique industry tours where delegates will experience northern Australian developments, including mango farms during harvest, the NT’s horticultural giants and broadacre crop research underway at leading facilities.
This is the first time that the biennial gathering will be held in northern Australia and is an important opportunity for agronomy leaders, farmers, researchers and industry personnel to meet, network and share the latest science and best practice.
