SUBSIDISED TRAINING

TAFE NSW have put together a group of short courses which will assist farmers/ farm workers to upskill to find off-farm work, or to digitise/ do their own accounts to save on the costs of outsourcing this to a book keeper or accountant. Small business owners are also eligible to access this training to help them diversify and improve their businesses.

The courses will run subject to numbers in various locations. The courses range from a few hours to a few weeks of PT study, and they are subject to a few different courses.
