Industry Partnership Groups (IPGs)
The IPGs are the voice of the primary industry. They are grassroots participants committed to growing their sector and organisations. IPGs directly inform training requirements in their areas of expertise. This ensures we can deliver the most relevant and appropriate training programmes. Each of the 12 IPGs appoints a chairperson and representative to the Stakeholder Council.
