California International Agri-Center Inc. & AgCareers.com Join Forces
We are pleased to announce a recent partnership between AgCareers.com and International Agri-Center, Inc. With the opening of the new AgCareers.com office in Central California, we look at this partnership as an opportunity to strengthen awareness among the West Coast of our on-line career resource (www.AgCareers.com) and other human resource services specific to agriculture, food, natural resources and biotechnology.
“The International Agri-Center is thrilled to welcome AgCareers.com to California. AgCareers.com means a wealth of quality Human Resource Services to the California Agriculture industry. As the International Agri-Center is home to World Ag Expo, (the leading agricultural exposition in the world), we are pleased to endorse AgCareers, as their mission is to become the worlds leading Human Resource Services supplier to the agriculture industry,” said Stacey Beachy, Sponsorship and Ad Sales Representative for the International Agri-Center.
AgCareers.com, along with team members of the International Agri-Center, have identified a number of topics and issues facing agriculture and related industries in the Western United States. The partnership with the California International Agri-Center will help us to work towards a common effort to educate employers and job seekers on a number of these issues. Examples of such topics include:
- Human Resource Succession Planning
- Dealing with an Aging Work Force
- Union & Labor Relations
- Safety & Workers Compensation
- Resources & Standard Practices for Human Resource Professionals
- Trends and Tactics for Managing Seasonal Workers
We hope to discuss some of these topics at the 1st Annual Western US Ag Human Resources Roundtable that we will be held in 2006. Contact Erika Harling, her information is provided below, if you would like to be involved with the Organizing Committee for this event.
