Geoff and Vicki
Toomby have a unique way of establishing relationships with both
animals and people, based on mutual trust and respect.
They
have successfully delivered skills development programs for
individuals and their horses, as well as training for working and
living in the rural industry, using their unique skills to help
others be the best they can be.
The
names Geoff and Vicki Toomby are very well known throughout the
Rural Industry across Northern Queensland, Northern Territory and
into the top end of Western Australia. Employers in these areas
often contact the Toomby's in hopes of securing a 'stand-out'
individual that may have passed through their gates.
These
employers aren't just seeking a body to fill a spot on their
worksite, their keen to find someone who fits in with their team,
follows instruction and just jumps in to get the work done!
The Skills4Life Program has been created with this in mind. For 7
days and 7 nights, participants will live and experience life on a
working cattle property. This is a great way to gain on-the-job
experience to learn and understand the importance of working as
part of a team, developing the core skills they need to be the best
they can be in both their career and personal lives.
This does not form part of the Nationally Accredited Training
delivered at Toomby Horsemanship Ultimate Rural Training Centre.
Students who successfully complete this program will attain a
Skills4Life Certificate of Attendance, recognising their
participation and understanding of the core skills employers across
all industries are seeking, also known as 'soft skills' or
'employability skills'.
This is not a Government Funded Program. Participants will be
required to pay an attendance fee which helps cover the cost of
accomodation, meals and materials used.
