🌱Why did FTS develop this course?🌱 💡Introducing the vocabulary and practices essential for diving into #CEA. As our emerging sector matures, talent is in short supply! Although there is a strong interest from many young professionals and conventional young farmers, the dilemma appears: HOW to engage with them as operators have no resources or time to spend on this major pool of loosely interested talent. This becomes the most important contribution that FarmTech Society, together with the network, brings to the table: creating a validated introduction online course and interacting with beginners to harmonize their knowledge levels. The EU-funded ECVET course is designed to teach critical skills and prepare young talent to enter CEA as a career opportunity. 🚀 Ready to begin your journey?
