Onboarding and Training Farm Employees with Google Classroom

February 3, 2021


ave you ever wished there was a better way to organize paperwork, training materials, and business information to share with new employees? Could your farm provide a better employee onboarding experience if more than one person had access to the onboarding materials?

Many farmers struggle to provide a consistent experience to all new employees because it is difficult to organize all the necessary information. Google Classroom is a free online platform that farmers can use to store and organize information to streamline the onboarding process and help managers provide a positive experience for new employees.

As part of the Onboarding Dairy Farm Employees project, Cornell Ag Workforce Development and Cornell Cooperative Extension have created a Google Classroom template for farmers who are curious about this software. In this 30 minute training, you will learn how to navigate Google Classroom and customize the template with documents and training materials from your farm.
