Webinars for upskilling the dairy manufacturing workforce
Over the past eight years Dairy Australia has developed over 250 webinars designed to upskill Australian dairy manufacturers.
These webinars, together with their downloadable PDFs, offer exciting formats to enhance the knowledge of you or your workforce, without having to leave the workplace - delivering substantial savings in costs and time. Alternatively, webinar recordings can be viewed at a time that suits participants.
Most importantly, staff receive this valuable training from local and international experts in their field.
Typically the 30 webinars conducted annually include a 50 minute presentation followed by 5 to 10 minutes of question time.
