Nick Shorter from Velcourt came in to talk to the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Agriculture learners about the agricultural business & the graduate training scheme they have to offer our learners.

The talk was in depth about how the company has developed over the years with discussions about what makes a good farm manager.  Learners were able to appreciate how difficult farming is in Eastern Europe & Russia after some of the stories that Nick told.  One story included that one of the staff members had smuggled a live calf off the farm in the back of his car boot!

Feedback from learners was excellent; who knows we may see some of our learners working for Velcourt in the future…
