Find your seafood career online
The shortage of skilled and experienced workers within the seafood industry has been an ongoing source of pain for many commercial seafood producers, however the new Seafood Careers website is making it easier to match job opportunities with job seekers.
The website, which was designed to provide a dedicated online employment and training platform for the seafood industry, is a collaboration between Seafood Industry Australia (SIA) and the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC).
The site can link job seekers with employers via an interactive map of Australia denoting key industry hubs and links to local employers, and provides a directory of training opportunities and connecting people to career paths and employment advancement opportunities with Registered Training Organisations.
In addition to job matching, Seafood careers features more than 125 training and development courses, including:
-
- Responsible oyster farmer training program
- Digital skills hub (Prawn farmers)
- Safety short courses (AMSA recommended)
- Shellfish Safety Supervisors course
- Sea Safe
- 30+ university courses
- Various certificates
To give new job seekers a better idea of what each job entails, the site features more than 45 “Day in the Life” videos of people from all across the industry, so people looking at those roles can hear from someone actually doing them. The passion and enthusiasm in these videos is a credit to our industry.
