Draft units of competency and skill sets are now available for your feedback. The units have been reviewed in line with current forest harvesting optimisation technology and the impact on utilisation processes.
Feedback is being sought on the content of 10 proposed new units of competency, 12 improved existing units and the structure of 2 new skill sets.
The draft units and skill sets will be available on the Skills Impact website for stakeholder consultation until 5pm Friday 30 June.
You are welcome to provide feedback on as many draft units and skill sets as you would like. Please also feel free to share the drafts with colleagues who may be interested in providing feedback.
The feedback will inform the work on the next version of draft units which will be available for industry validation in late July.
