McCrystal Agricultural Services (McAg) workers are set to receive a boost in their skills development through ongoing training and development opportunities funded by the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility skills development program. This initiative covers a range of certifications including first aid, forklift operation, chemical handling, food safety, and more, all of which are highly valuable to Australian farming enterprises.
The program offers fully or partially funded training, representing a significant value-add opportunity for McAg Host Employers. By investing in the upskilling of their workforce, these employers not only enhance their workers’ capabilities but also contribute to the overall productivity and safety of their operations.
In a recent survey conducted by McAg, workers expressed overwhelming enthusiasm for participating in skills development training. When presented with various questions, workers unanimously “strongly agreed” that such opportunities are beneficial to their success in their work, assist them in achieving their skills development or personal goals, and may lead to multi-season or long-term work opportunities.
The survey responses provided a strong indication that McAg workers value upskilling opportunities and would actively participate in skills development training, given the opportunity.
For any Host Employers interested in learning more about the program or building skilled capacity at their site, they are encouraged to reach out to admin@mccrystalag.com.au.
The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility skills development program stands as a testament to McAg’s commitment to the growth and empowerment of its workforce, ultimately driving progress within the agricultural sector.
