Research, design, deliver
We research, design and deliver skills training and personal development that equips and supports women to generate economic, social and environmental progress in the primary sector and rural communities.
Working in partnership with industry, we identify their specific needs and design and deliver tailored programmes to meet those needs. Organisations we have worked with in this way include:
Beef + Lamb New Zealand Beef + Lamb New Zealand Farmer Council
Dairy Women’s Network WorkSafe New Zealand
Red Meat Profit Partnership Farming Mums New Zealand
Rural Women New Zealand Landcorp Farming Ltd
Our 8th annual Governance Forum stressed the need for the best, most skilled people to govern in areas where the resources are not there. Good governance at every level - community, businesses and industry, will make NZ strong.
Words of wisdom and experience on the 'why' and 'how' from our panel - Andrew Morrison Beef + Lamb New Zealand, Tony O'Boyle, Jenni Vernon and #EscalatorAlumni Adrienne Wilcock.
Big thanks to ANZ New Zealand for hosting us. And to our partners Ravensdown, DairyNZ, FMG, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, AGMARDT, Red Meat NZ CRS Software - Cashmanager RURAL

Plenty of laughter in Palmerston North last week as 17 women participated in It's All About YOU, AWDT's two-day purposeful development programme for women who live and work in the primary sector or rural communities.
This fantastic group had two full days to refocus and re-prioritise, to develop their confidence and explore the true value their skills, strengths and experiences with the help of AWDT's expert facilitators.
Two further programmes are being planned for 2018, so register your interest at www.awdt.org.nz/programmes/its-all-about-you/ to be notified as soon as dates are launched.
Thank you to programme partners, CRS Software - Cashmanager RURAL who make delivering this great programme possible.
Seriously good value, thanks Wendy Coup and Ron Val McMeikan for gifting this course to me. Thanks AWDT and the other participants for making it such a wonderful two days.
Come visit us in the ANZ New Zealand tent alongside the Village Green at Fieldays. Tell us where you want us to bring Understanding Your Farming Business in 2019. Thanks to Red Meat NZ all places on the programme are fully funded!
