All rights reserved. The effort was undertaken after CAB conducted regional meetings with representatives from agricultural operations to identify what kind of training programs CAB could provide. Throughout the state, an area that emerged as a priority was supervisor training, in both English and Spanish. Employers are recognizing the need to train and educate supervisors in order to provide the tools necessary for supervisors to do their job more effectively and efficiently.
Supervisors are the key to a productive and positive work environment.
In order to meet this need CAB has teamed up with agricultural organizations such as the Ventura County Agricultural Association, the Grower Shippers Vegetable Association, and the California Strawberry Commission to offer the training. Workshops have been offered from Napa to Oxnard. And offering workshops in Spanish allows us to reach a larger audience. More than 400 supervisors throughout the state attended the supervisor training workshops in 1995. Numbers will probably pass the 400 figure in 1996, Nafzigger said.
