ELI delivers skilled entrepreneurs, develops small businesses and supports those small businesses to become sustainable in targeted agricultural industries. Our vision is that each small business will be sustainable and contribute to job creation and economic development in the community. Candidates are recruited to form part of the piggery business development programme. Students complete the skills course with a focus on the technical aspects of pig farming as well as business management skills. Students that demonstrate commitment, tenacity and complete their modules are selected to be empowered to run their own businesses.
