  • Case Study: The Apricot Centre

    Case Study: The Apricot Centre

    To help share info on the training opportunities currently out there, we’re putting together a series of case studies that includes information on the courses but also learner experiences. Our first case study is on The Apricot Centre in Devon. You can also view the case study as a PDF here.

To accompany our new guide, on Friday October 23rd we are running an in-person event at OrganicLea to launch and build on this publication. The day will bring together farmers, growers, trainers and educators from across the sector to explore the practicalities of delivering training – from informal and certificated learning through to accredited qualifications and apprenticeships.

We’ll be exploring the different models available to farms wanting to offer certificated training, accredited qualifications, work placements and apprenticeships. Alongside the launch, we’ll share the latest on TALC’s developing Agroecology Academy, funding routes, and emerging apprenticeship standards.

This event will be especially useful for farms and sites offering training, or those considering setting up training, but is open to anyone in the wider agroecology network – trainers, mentors, funders, and those simply curious about how the sector’s training landscape is evolving.

More information will be released nearer the time around specific sessions and workshops.
