What do growers look for when hiring staff? How important are soft skills compared to technical skills? What role does formal education play, and what should be taught through real-life experience?

In the third video of our Growing Horticulture roundtable series, our grower, educator and industry partner panellists share their thoughts on the qualities that make up the ideal candidate, and how education and on-farm training play a part.

Haven’t seen the first two videos in the series? Catch up with an introduction to the panellists, and a look at some of the challenges they face. Stay tuned for Part 4: Opportunities, to be released Dec. 6.
