USING THIS KIT

Trainers and farm business advisers can use the kit in the following ways -

• Use the magazine as a discussion opener with individuals or groups. The articles are available on line and can be reproduced individually if required. Case studies are a non threatening way to introduce issues and discuss real life problems without putting the spotlight on the individual.
• Guide your clients to the website for self paced learning which can raise their entry level knowledge, prior to embarking on a training course.
• Any part of this kit can be reproduced as handouts or information sheets to support training in business planning.
• Any of the information can be used as handouts or prototypes to guide development activities.
• The numerous website links and contact telephone numbers included in this kit provide access to tested sources of material, which can be used to extend and improve your training activities and materials.
• Use the contact details for Rural Skills Australia Education and Training Officers to gain local knowledge and information about training, resources and opportunities which may enhance your work and offer your clients learning and development options.
• Use the contact details for State Farmers' Associations to get local information on support for farmers in business planning and in assisting with crisis management.
