Sunbeam's working towards a brighter farming future
Ontrack 
Rural Skills Australia and the Centrelink Career Information Centre have combined with other organisations in this Federal initiative to provide this visually appealing directory of rural careers and training across fifteen rural sectors. The information is easily retrieved by individuals and may be printed as fact sheets for class use. For each career choice, Career pathways is especially valuable, as a qualification table lists AQF TAFE certificate courses, with job expectations and prospects. Associated opportunities,such as Exporting, Be your own boss, and rural jobs In the city, are described. The site provides clear and accessible information for a range of literacy levels. E. Kesby

Sunbeam's working towards a brighter farming future
ABSTRACT
The Sunbeam Future Farmers program, in conjunction with Rural Skills Australia, is an initiative to give young people living in rural Australia a start in the farming industry and to secure the future of the Australian farming community. Maintaining the skills base within the horticultural industry is becoming increasingly important. This program is designed to match farmers with young Australians considering or participating in a full, part time or school-based apprenticeship in horticulture. It will enable the apprentice to develop practical skills on the land and receive a Level II Certificate in Production Horticulture. The website gives an introduction to the program and takes the user to the Rural Skills Australia website.
