Project description
Ultimate aim: to map the Regional Skills Profile of the Robertson Wine Valley (RWV), with special attention to the Skill Shortages.

Recent small scale studies show: (1) there is a need for systematic, coordinated and "scientific" training; (2) there is a need on the part of farm workers for more and advanced training.

In the Robertson region the first steps have been taken towards the establishment of a regional training system. A regional skills profile that highlights shortages and needs can serve as a baseline for such a system or model.

At the same time the Wine Industry Charter wants to formulate a skills plan for the whole industry. The regional skills profile for the RWV can serve as a first step towards such a comprehensive skills plan. It could not only be a building block towards an industry skills baseline, but also serve as a methodological template for similar studies in the other wine regions.
