Taylors Wines was recently named the best winery at America’s largest and most prestigious San Franciso International Wine Show. This is the second time in three years. River Murray Training (RMT)  is proud to be associated with Taylors Wines, providing partnered training services for over 10 years. That Taylors Wines can so consistently win international and Australian wine awards is testament to the quality systems they have in place. Here is a company that has a strong training culture and embedded the nationally accredited wine industry competency framework into their workforce development strategy. Their investment in employee training and development certainly pays off.  Well done to all Taylors Wines employee. You can be very proud of your award-winning achievements.

We were recently advised that our online program for Irrigation Managers was approved by FarmReady. This follows on from the pilot we ran in 2008 for the Certified Irrigation Agronomist and Certified Irrigation Manager Skill sets. The feedback from that program was very positive, and the 2009 group is underway and feedback to date is equally as positive.  The FarmReady program is very similar, but is a mix of skills from the manager AND agronomist skillsets. There are many benefits to study online - no travel, learn sequenced in small chunks, collaborate with a group of people from other irrigation areas, even from overseas, further your computer, and online communication skills. 

The first FarmReady group is scheduled to begin week of July 1. There is a flyer on our website for registration.
