Abstract	Australia's agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry represents about 5% of the nation's total employment and growth in the last 10 years has averaged only about 0.3% per year. In 1996, it was estimated that 4.7% of government-funded training was directed toward this industry. A 1997 employer satisfaction survey indicated that 11% of enterprises in this sector employed recent vocational education and training (VET) graduates, fourth highest among all industries. A relatively high 58% of technical and further education graduates had received employer support during their last semester of study, and 75% of VET graduates rated their studies as either highly relevant or of some relevance. Nearly 68% of this industry's workers lack qualifications beyond high school and more than half did not complete the highest level of secondary school. Approximately 77% of VET graduates in land and marine resources or animal husbandry were employed. (An appendix contains four tables of statistics: shifts in employment in various industries in Australia; numbers of persons employed in various occupations in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing industry from 1987-1996; and educational attainment of persons in occupations within the industry.)
