This yearly survey allows us to gather insight from the large number of farmers across New Brunswick who operate such diverse farms of various sizes.
While the needs across commodities may differ in many ways, we have the common challenge of recruitment and retention which the Workforce Development team at AgriNB works to address.
Through your important responses to the survey questions, we can learn more about your opinions, fine-tune our projects and bring your voice to the conversations that are happening behind the scenes to address the problems we all face with agricultural workforce needs.
Conducting this survey year after year, allows us to uncover the answers to big questions we have such as hiring and training needs, challenges you face, and programs you hope to see in the future. We are able to make decisions on the direction of the programs we create, such as the upcoming Shared Workforce Pilot Program, the future mentorship program, resources to be shared on the website, and more. Additionally, we can compare the results year after year to see where we are making progress or where gaps continue to exist.
We collect this information while you to remain anonymous. This allows you to provide the open and honest feedback we need to make the decisions about programs related to workforce development.
This year we hope to hear what you have to say.
We thank you for your time and for sharing your voice with us.
