Bacon Bits - Vol. The Swine Industry Management Training Program is being developed by the Prairie Swine Centre in Saskatoon and will be delivered in Alberta in cooperation with Olds College. Alberta Agriculture and Alberta Pork have provided strategic funding to the program and input on program development. Information is presented in scenarios allowing students to learn about problem solving and making decisions based on a particular situation. Additionally, students are working with other barn managers dealing with the same problems, which is a bonus.
Students end up learning as much from the managers as they do from the course content.
