Course Summary
Rural infrastructure is a crucial aspect to any rural communities, as the entire function of the community will depend on the infrastructure components such as the water supply, energy, and transport systems. If these systems are left undeveloped and unmanaged, they can be great limiting factors on the community’s economic growth.
To develop rural infrastructure, it is vital for those involved to understand the process of planning and managing finances. There are various methods to utilise to aid in planning and development and strategies to help match the goals with an achievable budget. These plans for different systems should take into consideration the demands of the community and the existing infrastructure.
Rural infrastructure development should also account for modern infrastructure standards, which are primarily focused on sustainability. Ensuring infrastructure is sustainable, for example renewable energy sources, will prevent pollution within the area and help maintain the natural landscapes. Furthermore, sustainable functions can be an ideal method of cost reduction for functions and can be much simpler to maintain over time.
During this course, you’ll learn:
To understand the importance of rural infrastructure in supporting economic growth and development.
To explore the concepts, principles, and standards of rural infrastructure development.
To identify what internal and external factors may influence the development of rural infrastructure.
To describe each process stage for infrastructure development and how they are intertwined with one another.
To incorporate sustainable practices and functions within the infrastructure to increase reliability.
To explore different features of infrastructure and ideal methods of improvement with minimal risk and down-time.
To encourage collaboration and engagement with local stakeholders.
This course is designed for anyone involved within rural infrastructure and developing rural communities. It would be most beneficial for:
Civil Engineers
Project Managers
Rural Planning Directors
Communication and Engagement Managers
Rural Surveyors
Architects
Operations Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review real-world examples of infrastructure development plans to highlight key improvements and sustainable features.
To ensure a full understanding of the taught content, the participants will partake in a variety of learning methods, including presentations, discussions, individual and group practical activities. This combination of methods will highly promote skill development and ensures the participants can develop an in-depth understanding of the taught content.
