Research and industry
skills are key elements in achieving the Corporation's overall
objectives for primary industry. Skilled people, prepared to
work in the many areas of special interest and responsibility
of the Corporation, are a valuable resource.
New industries typically are led by industry entrepreneurs,
only some of whom have the resources and management skills for
the development of successful new enterprises. Many new marketing,
management and leadership skills are required to make the fledgling
industries succeed.
In the multi-industry area the issues are generally
more complex and there are many more agencies and individuals
involved. These factors require our training and education programs
to adequately cater for people with multi-industry research and
development skills.
The Corporation, through a series of community and industry workshops, has identified leadership skills to be a key constraint in the future productivity and well being of rural Australia. It has taken up the challenge to address the issue and, with the support of industry, has established a highly successful rural leadership program which commenced in 1992-93.
