People Development

The vegetable industry is making a serious investment in its people, appointing Dianne Fullelove to design a People Development Investment Plan for the Australian vegetable industry.

The role supports a key pillar of Vegvision 2020 industry strategic plan.

Existing business skills and training programs have been reviewed and a People Development Investment Plan (324 kb) is now available for our vegetable industry.

The average age of farmers in Australia is increasing so it is important to get young people involved in the industry and trained in leadership and essential business skills.

I will be working closely with a variety of people and organisations across supply chains throughout the country.

Diannes' work will ensure a rich source of skilled and informed growers to take the industry into the future.

The project has engaged state grower organisations in the formation of an investment plan for people development and will foster an ongoing commitment to building the industries long term leadership and training capability.
