Announced at the Sydney Royal Easter Show recently, the NSW government will provide a $15 million funding boost to the AgSkilled program to ensure farmers and agribusinesses have access to the skilled workers they need to stay productive, competitive and resilient.

The AgSkilled program delivers practical, hands-on training across livestock, horticulture, grains and fibre to help workers gain job-ready skills without involving the time and cost needed to become fully qualified.

The program has already delivered strong results across regional NSW:

• In 2024-25, more than 2300 participants completed 770 courses.

• In 2023-2024, more than 2400 participants completed 600 courses.
