Agriculture Operations

The Agriculture Operations Diploma Program is a comprehensive training opportunity designed for individuals aspiring to pursue a fulfilling career in modern agriculture and farm operations. NWP's Agriculture Operations Diploma Program prepares graduates for employment as a grain farm worker or a livestock farm worker. Graduates gain the skills, knowledge, and attitude to operate equipment, perform maintenance on equipment, lead a team, haul, or transport grains/livestock, incorporate technology and industry trends, promote farm safety, and to focus on productivity and ethical land/animal practices. This program equips students with a comprehensive skill set and knowledge base that will enable them to thrive as competent and responsible farm workers in today's dynamic agricultural landscape. From cultivating crops to managing livestock, students gain hands-on experience and theoretical insights that make them valuable assets to farming operations. This program includes two extensive work terms where students will be working in industry, a real-world environment to advance their learning and put their skills into practice. Students will be responsible for ensuring they are meeting the requirements of the work term as identified by the employer. The work terms may or may not be paid terms. NWP and the student share the responsibility of securing the work placements. Students are responsible for ensuring they have transportation and accommodation for successful work terms.
