Alister Shennan & Phil Holden | “'Agricademy' brings shearing education online”
As part of this week’s “Opinion Maker” show of Sarah’s Country, the panel consists of Alister Shennan from WOMOlife who explains the objectives of the wool harvesting course and what a ‘life in wool’ can look like, and Phil Holden from New Zealand Shearing Contractors’ Association, who is a huge supporter of Agricademy and highlights the importance of getting people involved to develop a skilled workforce.
A group of respected industry trainers from around the country will run the first upskilling courses for young shearers and wool handlers in a pilot programme contracted by the New Zealand Shearing Contractors Association (NZSCA) through Kaiaka Wool Industry Training NZ.
The courses, put together by training provider WOMOlife and set to begin at the end of March, include an online series of videos featuring experts in their fields, in-shed training by highly respected industry trainers, and movement coaching to protect and improve the skills of the group.
