They will be supported by a CAFRE Development Adviser and they will have the option to gain a Level 3 qualification.
"With a challenging climate in all sectors, I encourage farmers right across the industry, to apply to this new programme which will assist them in acquiring the tools to make the right decisions about their businesses."
