Council of Grain Grower Organisations Ltd - Membership Survey

Appropriate post-secondary traineeships, including trades, for the Grain Industry in WA.

COGGO is investigating a new initiative to provide a limited amount of members funds towards further education subsidies to support the child of a contributing COGGO member. The subsidy is to be aligned to advancing the education of a limited number of children in an area of interest relevant to Western Australian grain growing. The board is conducting an online survey to assess the interest of COGGO members for this initiative and also to help design the parameters for the funds to be released, if the proposal proceeds. The survey will be available late in the week before Easter 2023 and can be accessed at this link [ COGGO website - Survey Monkey]. The responses are entirely voluntary and will remain confidential to COGGO.
