WELCOME TO FINANCIAL SKILLS

The Financial Skills workshops were born in support of long-term industry capacity and agricultural education to attract and retain the next generation in the industry as well as supporting the knowledge of producers and farmers. Rabobank has the goal of sharing knowledge through the Financial Skills workshops with 5,000 participants across Australia and New Zealand by 2025.  

These complimentary workshops are a collaboration between Rabobank and Rabo Client Councils
with their content and facilitation partner, Rural Field Consultants Ltd.
