Farmers can now boost their digital skills with a new course.
Dysgu Bro, a training service from Ceredigion County Council, will offer an online digital skills course as part of the Farming Connect Provider Framework.
The council service will offer the ICDL Extra Course online weekly.
This is a globally recognised digital skills qualification designed to enhance IT proficiency in the agricultural and rural business sectors.
This course complements Dysgu Bro's existing accredited first-aid courses, ensuring that farming communities have access to essential life-saving skills and digital literacy training.
Farming Connect funding is designed to support professional development within the agricultural industry, helping farmers and landowners access valuable training opportunities.
Eligible individuals can apply for funding to support their participation in these courses, equipping them with the skills necessary to improve their businesses and personal development.
Councillor Wyn Thomas, cabinet member for schools and lifelong learning, said: "It is great that Dysgu Bro is now part of the Farming Connect Provider Framework and able to offer courses that support the growth and resilience of our farming communities.
"It's important that the agricultural sector gets the opportunity to take advantage of the latest technology to help them move forward, enhancing both their business operations and on-farm safety."
