Live training, delivered in-person or online, is incredibly valuable. It gives participants a chance to ask real-time questions while engaging with their peers. Whether youâre an agriculture association, post-secondary institution, or another organization working in agriculture, please email us if youâre interested in hosting live delivery of data literacy training based on the Fundamentals of Farm Data course. We can work with you to develop an in-person event or online webinar, customizing content for your organization.
Since launching our data literacy program in early 2024, we have brought data literacy programming to a number of leading organizations, both in person and via online webinars. This includes the University of Calgary’s Simpson Centre, Canadian Association of Farm Advisors, and Farm Credit Canada.
