Business skills workshops

Our business skills workshops are developed on a needs basis and delivered in partnership with government, industry and likeminded organisations.

Workshop example

Through interactions with horticulturalists in the Virginia following the Gawler River flood event, we identified the longer term capacity building potential of providing tailored business skills training for this ethnically diverse group.

After seeking and securing funding from the Department of Industry and Skills, RBS delivered a series of free business skills workshops for the mostly Cambodian and Vietnamese horticulturalists in this community. Most of the participants spoke little or no English, so we had all of our materials and presentations translated into either Khmer or Vietnamese.

The sessions were well received by growers, providing a valuable template for RBS around the effectiveness of providing business skills training to producers in their primary languages.
