The AHDB funded workshops are aimed at individuals who are starting out on their agricultural career or have been recognised as potential supervisors of the future.

Starting from 8 November, the workshops will be held at venues across the country and led by training consultancy, Cedar Associates.

Responsible for setting up the workshops is AHDB External Industry Skills Development Manager, Tess Howe.

Tess said: “Agricultural and horticultural businesses now have the opportunity to improve the skills of workers who they see taking on a supervisory role in the future, or alternatively for those already working as supervisors who may benefit from training.

“The workshops are free to attend and cover a broad range of topics from core management skills, to communication and change management, so supervisors are equip to get the best performance from their teams, helping to increase productivity in the industry.”
