Business training comes to Swan Hill

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 05:39:00

SWAN HILL is set to host a suite of free first-class training opportunities to help local businesses, farmers and community groups take control of their social media and marketing.

Commencing on Tuesday 27 July with a workshop on learning to write for social media, the training sessions also include learning how to use Instagram stories and graphic design program Canva, email marketing, and how to nail a 100-word business pitch.
A series of six sessions will be held Tuesday and Wednesday in Swan Hill, courtesy of Rural Business Connections.
“Training like this is so often only available in Melbourne and regional centres such as Bendigo, so it’s a great opportunity for people in Mildura to take advantage of some great training,” explained Rural Business Connections’ Dianne Johnstone.
Rural Business Connections works across a large proportion of north-western Victoria, providing access to free and low-cost training and support through small group workshops, online digital solutions and appointments with a Small Business Financial Consultant.
“We’ve recently held similar workshops in Mildura and in Wakool, and the feedback from participants has been amazing. People have told us they felt really welcome and able to learn so many skills, which empowers them to make their social media and marketing really work for them,” Dianne said.
Two key presenters will deliver the training, including communications specialist, editor and founder of OAK Magazine, Kimberley Furness; and wordsmith Natalie Dowling from Words on a Page.
All training sessions will be held in line with Victoria’s COVID-19 requirements.
These training sessions are cost-free for all small businesses, farmers and community group members from Boort, Cohuna, Colignan, Cullulleraine, Kerang, Merbein, Mildura, Pyramid Hill, Red Cliffs, Swan Hill, Rochester and Wakool.
