Agricademy builds industry training for the primary sector
Focusing on new industry entrants we provide vocational training online or on farm.
Our strategy is to create a branded learning environment for each sector. Building a unique learning experience that provides the right level of training for each role within the sector. Agricademy is a new way to create better outcomes for employers and their employees.
Our development process focus’s on creating learning material that is easily understood and actioned by new entrants on job. Agricademy removes the barriers of cost and time for employers in successfully on boarding an employee who is new to the industry. Often new entrants are enrolled in industry qualifications by default as there is no other option. Agricademy provides the vocational training they need to be successful in the first years in industry preparing them for a successful future.
All our courses are built with learners in mind.
