The Center for Dairy Excellence is hosting a special March webinar on Wednesday, March 20 from 12-1 p.m. Titled “Recruiting Employees on Your Dairy: Resources and Programs to Help” and led by Michelle Shearer, Workforce Development Manager at the Center, you’ll learn about several opportunities to expand your workforce and recruit employees on your dairy operation. Shearer will share information about the Center’s Dairy Herd Manager Registered Apprenticeship, Dairy Laborer Registered Pre-Apprenticeship, and other resources available to help you find qualified employees.
The webinar will also feature Jacob Conklin, Business Services Consultant for the SCPA CareerLink, as a guest speaker. Conklin will share information about the resources available through CareerLink and Workforce Development Boards, including paid work experiences and worker recruitment opportunities available to dairy producers who are looking to recruit, hire, train and retain employees. CareerLink has helped pay hourly wages and workmen’s compensation insurance on dairy operations. Conklin will describe some of these opportunities and how they can benefit you as an employer.
Note: The SCPA CareerLink serves Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Juniata, Lebanon, Perry, and York Counties. Dairy producers from those counties are encouraged to join the webinar. The apprenticeship opportunities that will be shared on the webinar are available to dairy producers from any county across Pennsylvania, so all dairy producers and industry professionals are welcome to join the discussion!
