Worker Protection Standard Train-the-Trainer Class

Do you need to train agricultural workers for the Worker Protection Standards (WPS) for their employment?  If so, you will either need to have a current Private Applicator License or a WPS Trainer Certificate.  UF/IFAS Extension Hillsborough County is offering a WPS Train-the-Trainer Class so you can be compliant with the Florida Department of Ag and Consumer Services in training agriculture employees.  The class will be offered on December 13th at the Hillsborough County Extension Office in Seffner, FL.  If you are interested, please view the flyer below.  If you are interested in taking the class, please click this link to register. https://WPSTTT2023Hillsborough.eventbrite.com

Extension Needs Your Help; Calling all Plant Producers!

UF/IFAS Extension is a cooperative system, joining both the University of Florida and Hillsborough County in service to local residents.  It is cooperative in solving production problems through communication between producers, extension educators, and scientists.  Educational programs are created to meet the specific needs of the community.  Cooperation, feedback, and input are essential from those we serve to deliver impactful programs. 

To start out the 2024 season, I would like to get input from ornamental plant growers in our community. In my commitment to fostering growth and excellence in ornamental horticulture, I invite all ornamental plant producers to participate in our Educational Needs Assessment Survey. Your insights are invaluable in shaping tailored educational resources that address the challenges and opportunities specific to our industry. By sharing your experiences and preferences, you contribute to a collective effort aimed at enhancing knowledge, promoting sustainable practices, empowering employees, and ensuring the continued success of Hillsborough and Polk County Environmental Horticulture Production Extension.

The survey will take less than three minutes.  Please help out with your valuable feedback.  Here is the link for the survey.
