WEBINAR: Growing Great People - Training Skills for Dairy Farmers (English)

April 14, 2020

WEBINAR: Growing Great People - Training Skills for Dairy Farmers (English)

Effective trainings contribute to success of employees and the farm business. With training, employees learn to effectively complete tasks and why specific procedures are important to the farm. When employees have the knowledge, skills, and attitude needed to do the job right, and when they understand why it should be done a certain way, it saves time and avoids problems. It also makes people feel important and involved, keeping them engaged and reducing employee turnover.

Develop your training skills in this online workshop that includes brief presentations and interactive learning following a system of:
  • TELL: Describe the procedure and why it is important
  • SHOW: Demonstrate the procedure and emphasize key points
  • DO: Allow the learner to try and answer any questions
  • REVIEW: Are the steps in the procedure done correctly?
After the workshop you will be able to:
  • Plan for organized and effective trainings
  • Train in a way that works for most people
  • Measure and follow up to make sure learning happened
These workshops are supported by a grant from the New York Farm Viability Institute.
