Agriculture Workforce Development Training Skills for Dairy Farmers Spanish Workshop

Become an Effective On-The-Job Trainer


Effective trainings contribute to success of employees and the farm business.  With training employees learn how to effectively complete their task and why it is important to the farm.  When employees have the knowledge, skills, and attitude needed to do the job right and understand why it should be done this way it:
  • saves time and avoids problems
  • makes people feel important and involved, which keeps them engaged and reduces employee turnover
Develop your training skills in this webinar training that includes a learning 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:
1) Plan for organized and effective trainings
2) Train in a way that works for most people
3) Measure and follow up to make sure learning happened

Trainings are conducted in English on April 14 and Spanish April 16.  

These workshops are supported by a grant from the New York Farm Viability Institute.
