Agrisgôp is the Farming Connect management development programme which is changing mindsets, attitudes and the capability of the individuals who join.
Farming Connect is currently recruiting a new network of leaders to set up and facilitate Agrisgôp groups throughout Wales.
We are looking for self-motivated individuals who are good communicators. You will either have a degree in agriculture or a related subject or at least three years’ experience of working in the industry in Wales.
The new Agrisgôp Programme, which will be rolled out in a phased delivery from 1 October 2015 will include:
- Traditional grass roots groups
Which bring together like-minded individuals keen to find new or improved ways of working or new streams of income.
- Themed groups
Which bring together a group of individuals all wanting to focus on the same topic. This could range from providing added value or finding new markets for breeders and producers to improving water quality or investing in renewable energy.
- Business-driven action learning groups
Which bring together a group of individuals all wanting to focus on a specific agri-business driven goal or objective.
Your role will be to recruit individuals from farm and forestry business to join your group, to arrange meetings and to facilitate discussion between members and other appropriate mentors so that they can learn through the process of ‘Action Learning’.
Your key remit will be to encourage your group members to embrace entrepreneurship into their day to day business practices and to investigate or develop new business ideas.
