Why is WFA involved in workforce development?
The workforce requirements of the wine industry will continue to change in response to improving technologies and business practices. Concurrently the Australian workforce is undergoing significant transformation.

It is important to influence national workforce planning and capacity building to ensure that future wine industry requirements are met.

Our vision for the industry
To support the continued competitive advantage of Australian wine by representing the industry at a national level in relation to future workforce requirements.

How will we achieve this?

The objectives of the Workforce Development Committee are:

1. The industry understands its future workforce requirements.
