Location: Mount Surprise, QLD

Course(s) Studied: Diploma of Agriculture

Taylor ventured to Australia from South Africa at age 18. It was the beginning of a sole adventure however circumstances swiftly changed with the outbreak of COVID-19 and the closure of international borders. Unable to return to her home country, she was keen to make the most of the opportunity.

Taylor was alone with no financial support and limited with the work and study she could secure under her visa regulations. Following a lot of research, she discovered RuralBiz Training who were able to offer affordable pricing and flexibility for her course study. She commenced our Diploma of Agriculture and found her very first full-time job, enabling her to financially support herself and work towards a greater future. 

“The flexible study hours enabled me to easily fulfill my work commitments while progressing with online study. I am grateful for the amazing support I received from the trainers and team at RuralBiz Training. They made my study journey a very enjoyable experience. Thank you.”

She is now married and lives in Mount Surprise, Queensland. Taylor works in National Resource Management, focusing on supporting rural properties and encouraging opportunities for grants and project across the Gulf Savannah.
