Rebecca Toleman is the newly appointed Teaching & Education Manager for Agriculture at South West Tafe. Although she never completed high school herself and never imagined she would get into Education - she is an absolute trailblazer. Having spent time on farm before making the move into teaching she has a real passion for people and sharing knowledge, especially those key skills she would have loved to have in her early days on farm.

In this chat we explore Bec's pathway into Agriculture, the impact of the dairy crash and clawback, her time away from dairy and her move back into Education. We discuss her new role at South West Tafe and her real passion for people. She also shares some of her big dreams and hopes for the future. We generally discuss the variety of courses that Tafe offers, but if you would like more information about the courses or to discuss anything specifically please visit their website

Bec is a bundle of energy and has a real passion for sharing knowledge and finding the next generation, if you would like to get in touch with her specifically you can get in touch with her at TAFE on 1300 648 911
