The project titled 'Skills Profile and Labour Supply Structures on Cotton Farms' was funded by the CRDC and covered the period from March 2015 to August 2018.

The cotton industry has adopted a very intensive and multiform approach to human capital formation across the industry over many years.

In 2008 the Cotton CRC invested in an Education Officer for 5 years to promote science and agriculture in schools.

The initiative aims to encourage more young people into the cotton industry by demonstrating the diversity of employment opportunities available within cotton production in Australia.
