06.01.2022 Last chance to register for GROW! I can’t recommend the GROW course enough. It absolutely changed the way I was operating both the farm and my wholesale business, and it also importantly connected me with a network of like-minded women from the grains and cotton sectors. I did a series of face-to-face sessions each followed by homework, but what appealed to me was it was all completely practical and you could implement what you learnt straight away.... For example, our trainer Bec Fing showed us how to set up very practical structures, like work health and safety plans, agreements with contractors and staff induction templates that provide everyone with clear outlines of expectations. I could also implement these improvements very quickly and easily for example, I went home and inducted the two staff we had starting on the farm. We have two graduates from a Danish agricultural college arrive each year to work with us through harvest, so proper inductions are critical for our workplace health and safety." She said other key learnings from the GROW course centred on issues such as improved time management. Even now, six months since after the course, I am still regularly referring back to both the GROW manual and the network of women I connected with through the course. They have become a critical sounding board for our business and that’s been invaluable. - Sarah Curry, GROW Alumni, Major's Point https://grdc.com.au//grains-entrepreneur-grows-her-experti
