All courses are open for registration 6-8 weeks prior to the course dates. Training courses focus on providing the participant with formal instruction in a structured setting using a variety of instructional methods. However, attendees are encouraged to ask questions and actively participate in the course work. Click here for descriptions of training courses.
Seminars provide a forum for learning in a less formal environment.
NISH trainers provide instruction, facilitate the sessions and answer questions. Formal instruction, roundtable discussions, networking with other producers under the JWOD program and on-site visits are integral components of these seminars. The success of seminars depends on the level of participation of the attendees. Seminars may be held near a JWOD project to allow for site visits and on-site instruction. Training is conducted in an informal laboratory type setting and requires active participation by attendees.
