Shaping courses for the changing aquaculture industry

With the introduction of Well Boats to the Tasmanian Salmon Industry, SMT is developing new training programs to address the operation of these vessels.

With the introduction of Well Boats to the Tasmanian Salmon Industry, many farm practices have changed or have become more specialised, requiring more specific training for operators. 

To address these changes, SMT has embarked on the development of a new stream to its Traineeship program which focuses on the crews that support these vessels.
