- Content and Instruction - Outstanding instructors and mentors present cutting edge management concepts in a comfortable, yet intense, learning environment. 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 - The opportunity to see various farm and business operations is one of the reasons we move the program across Canada. The 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.
"CTEAM has changed me and my farm operation forever. My classmates and the instructors gave me more motivation and drive than I ever thought possible. This is a course that every farm operator, owner or manager should be enrolled in. Guaranteed success!
