| Abstract: |
The EDGEnetwork of MLA is addressing a perceived deficiency in packaging and transferring the result and research and development by preparing training and information packages for livestock producers covering all aspects of managing the farm business. Extensive market research was involved in looking at producer needs and requirements. Tenders were awarded for the development of the workshop material using the same core criteria and development framework. Separate delivers are used. The courses are linked with the National Training Framework (VET) and Registered Training Organisations so that formal accreditation is possible for participants. Adult learning and benchmarking against other properties and industry standards are features of the training. Workshops are normally 1-3 days.
Lessons learnt - Producer training workshops/courses can effectively be linked into the National Training Framework – the VET sector. - Workshops/courses have limitations in catering to people in isolated areas – distance/difficulty in getting an economic size of group. - Intellectual Property can effectively be managed through contractual arrangements. - There are effective frameworks for developing training packages for producers – in this case the Quality Function Deployment technique was used. - Packages can be delivered separately to the developers – and need to have that capacity built in. - Pilots are necessary in ironing out process, content and delivery issues. |
