Growing Great People: Training Skills for Dairy Farmers
Become an Effective On-The-Job Trainer
The four hands-on regional training workshops “Growing Great People: Training Skills for Dairy Farmers. Become an Effective On-The-Job Trainer” scheduled in April by Cornell Ag Workforce Development in partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension are rescheduled as online webinars.
Separate webinars will be held in English and Spanish:
April 14 – English | 6:30 to 8:00 PM EDT
April 16 – Spanish | 12:00 to 1:30 PM EDT
Participation is free and registration is not required.
The webinars will be recorded and available after the event. In-person trainings conducted simultaneously in English and Spanish will be rescheduled in fall. Effective trainings contribute to success of employees and the farm business. With training employees learn how to best complete their task and why it is important to the farm’s success. 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 and makes people feel important and involved, which keeps them engaged and reduces employee turnover.

On many farms, multiple people might be able to do, or train others on, many day-to-day tasks, but fewer can take care of management tasks that occur daily, weekly, or monthly. This webinar focuses on developing plans to backup people who perform key management tasks, from middle to senior management roles, if they are unable to work.
