Scottish Government

Brief

Design, build and deliver a personal development programme for women working in Scottish agriculture. The programme for Women in Agriculture is an integral part of the Scottish Government’s vision to make Scottish agriculture a fairer, more inclusive industry, where farm succession is not determined by gender, training is accessible to everyone, and more women take on senior roles in agricultural organisations.

What we did

The programme aims to support women living or working in agriculture in Scotland to build their confidence, enhance their skills, and develop their abilities.

The course contains a number of elements including:

  • Understanding and enhancing mental fitness

  • Building confidence and resilience

  • Getting to know your strengths and how to play to them

  • When and how best to work with others

  • Building a relevant network with likeminded women in agriculture

We deliver this programme as part of a consortium with The People Portfolio, Mind & Mission and Scene & Herd PR.

Applications remain open for future courses from May 2022 onwards and can be found here.

Outcome

Course attendees have said that Be Your Best Self: ‘is life-affirming’; ‘ has given me a renewed sense of vigour and hope for the future’; ‘is a completely new way forwards, finding yourself and coming home’.
