Developing People - Developing Business by using our Development Service
Responding to industry needs
People and businesses have different needs as they develop. To ensure the College of Agriculture and Rural Development (CAFRE) understands and responds appropriately to these needs, a development planning process is used. The result is a tailored development plan.
The process involves clarifying business objectives, identifying development needs and agreeing appropriate support.
