Four modules are delivered over five days at select locations across Canada. They introduce you to a variety of management situations, experiences, and conditions.
- Learning is tailored to your situation - Program completion requires that you apply course material while developing and implementing strategic and operating plans for your farm.
- Learn from each other - As you develop your plan and discuss issues in the various modules, you get instant and expert input and experience from your peer group as well as your instructors.
- Opportunity to see outstanding operations - You will have the opportunity to see various farm and business operations both in person and through virtual tours. These tours provide you with access to innovative operations and outstanding agricultural managers from different areas of the country.
- A life-long network - Participants from previous courses continue to correspond with each other and enjoy the wise counsel of their classmates. You will benefit from the creation of a lasting network with other participants.
- Excel at what you do- Graduates of this course have performed amazingly well. Since 2010, eight graduates or graduate couples have been named Outstanding Young Farmer regionally; four were honoured nationally.
- Ongoing professional development - Once you've completed CTEAM you are able to attend our alumni programs further extending your network.
