Roscommon LEADER Partnership (RLP) is looking for tutors to provide IT courses for farmers. The RLP was awarded a contract in 2017 to upskill 7,000 individuals nationwide, primarily farmers and farm families.

The training is free to participants. The course content offered includes agfood.ie, Herdwatch, ICBF – HerdPlus and various farming apps. A drive is under way to recruit tutors, with recruitment evenings being held nationwide for interested parties starting from 12 March. Tutors could potentially earn up to €50/hour.
