| Provider: | The Master TreeGrower Programme was developed and is managed by forestry staff at the School of Natural Resource Management out of the University of Melbourne. |
| Abstract: |
This program has been designed to improve the capacity of people who wish to become involved in farm forestry and need to improve their skills, knowledge and confidence to do so. It is based on a flexible course reflecting the needs of the region in which they are run and uses an action learning approach to involve people in their learning.
Lessons Learnt - Having individual learning projects associated with a delivered course greatly increases understanding and value of the course. - Review and reflection on previous course sessions helps to embed learning for participants. - Hands on activities add value to “classroom” learning sessions. - Key competencies linked to course sessions help provide a focus as well as a linkage to VET accreditation. - Providing opportunities to acknowledge/celebrate successful completion of courses adds value to participation and learning. - Participation in locally relevant courses can also ‘short-cut’ acceptance and development of important networks to newcomers to a locality or industry. |
