Enrollment for the 2019 WNY Master Class—a professional development and communication training course for bilingual orchard crew members hosted by Cornell's Small Farms Program - has a limited number of spots remaining.
This course is designed specifically for Spanish-speaking middle managers with the overall goal of enhancing leadership and managerial skills, as well as overall English-language proficiency. Topics covered will include on-farm communication, conflict resolution, work crew management, business impact, team leadership, and workplace culture. Agriculture-specific English-language and communication strategies are presented through real-life work scenarios during each session.
For farm owners, investing in the development of key employees paves the way for the long-term retention of the individuals most committed to the success of your business; ultimately increasing on-farm efficiency and saving money. Farm business success is an essential component of the project, and as such, farm owners are encouraged to play an integral role in this program by helping to shape training outcomes and by providing feedback throughout the course.
