We wanted to sit down with Jader Ranconi, our Automation and Digital Agriculture Specialist program alum, to ask him about his experience in the program, and find out how it helped him get started in a Canadian agribusiness career.
At Palette Skills, we’ve always taken a broader view of upskilling and talent, because we know the upskilling journey is different for different people. That’s certainly what we learned when we sat down to speak with Rouvay Wilding, a recent participant in our digital agriculture program.
We get so focused on doing one thing that it’s difficult to see the wider impact of what we do. Our programs build technical skills, and skills that help participants change their lives, and find personal success.
The sophisticated tech taught in Palette Skills’ Digital Agriculture Specialist Program is exciting. But it’s worthwhile remembering that no matter what kind of technology is involved, agriculture is about food, and about people. So we sat down one of the program’s alumni to get at the very human side of the story.
We decided to find out what motivated people to make the change to tech, and what making that change was all about. Who better to ask than participants in our own tech training programs? The people we interviewed have transitioned from careers in fitness, retail, construction and hospitality, to name a few. Their reasons to make the switch to tech varied from cool perks and remote work, to job security and innovation. Although they come from different backgrounds, there were a few things they all had in common.
