Inspiring Woman in Agriculture Short Course 2016

Posted on 21 July, 2016 by Connecting Country

The North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA) has opened expressions of interest for its popular Inspiring Women in Agriculture short course. The course is delivered over four days in Bendigo, covering everything from networking, marketing and planning, to achieving balance and making money.

“If you have a passion for agriculture and are keen to take your farm business to the next level, learn new skills, build your networks and be inspired, then this is the course for you,” North Central CMA Regional Landcare Facilitator Mandy Coulson said.

Former course participants have used the skills gained at the course to reinvigorate their farming enterprises, or start new ones. “The Inspiring Women in Agriculture short course showed me that it was important to take ownership of our plan, see that it was flexible and change it as necessary,” pork producer Clare de Kok said.

The Inspiring Women in Agriculture short course will be run from 9am to 4pm on 1, 2 and 15 September 2016 and 20 October 2016, for a cost of $375. CLICK HERE to view the flyer.

The course is supported by the North Central CMA, through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Programme in partnership with Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE, Inspiring Excellence and Cynthia Mahoney and Associates.
