GEORGIA ORGANICS’ APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2024 Apprenticeship PROGRAMMING

With suggestions by way of exit interviews from Farm Hosts and Apprentices in addition to reflections from the Farmer Companies workforce, troubleshooting and amending sore spots for the 2024 cohort has already begun. One important change is the timing of this system. For 2024, farm work will start on April 1 to provide apprentices engaged on produce farms an opportunity to seed, transplant, and acclimate to their new work atmosphere earlier than the season will get underway.

One other change to this system contains making a weekly studying construction that Farm Hosts and Farm Apprentices agree upon to facilitate shifting the Apprentices towards their studying targets. Because of the suggestions from this system’s first-year contributors, different main and minor adjustments to this system may also happen in 2024.

On Nov. 27, 2023, functions open for this system. Georgia Organics is in search of 9 Farm Apprentices and Farm Hosts in Georgia to kind the 2024 cohort. This yr, this system will start on April 1 and finish on or round June 7, and we encourage agricultural college students, farm laborers, farm managers, and people involved in increasing their farm information to use!
