GAPC Farmworker Training
Agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries in the U.S. Training of all workers including family labor can help reduce the risks and prepare for unforeseen emergencies creating a working environment that promotes safety and compliance. However, training capacity and needs can look very different from farm to farm which is why GAPC provides many options to help farmers train their workforce.
