CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The qualification gained from completion of this course is part of the Conservation and Land Management Training Package. It is an introductory training program and allows for the achievement of the common core units of competence at AQF 2.
These units include:
Follow OHS Procedures
Observe Environmental work practices
Provide basic First Aid
Work effectively in the industry
Participate in workplace communication
The course provides a platform from which learners are introduced to industry specialisations that exist under the umbrella of the Conservation and Land Management Industry. This will enable them to decide whether they wish to enter the industry and if so, which sector or specific discipline they want to work within.
This course provides skills and knowledge and an understanding of cultural protocols for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners working in
or intending to work in the Indigenous land management industry.
This course provides a range of elective options. Depending on their selection, graduates of this course will be able to work under supervision, to undertake a range of duties that include protecting indigenous plants and animals in national parks, reserves and forests, operating and maintaining plant and equipment used in national parks, reserves, forest and on farms and preserving sites of cultural heritage and significance.
Graduates may also be employed as tour guides and cultural and heritage officers. However, these duties would pertain to and have a strong association and focus with conservation and land management. The course also contains two units which specifically relate to site and country. Access and permission to enter specific sites and country must be negotiated with appropriate local Councils and communities.
Graduates may be employed (under supervision) as:
