SAF Creates Career Training Hub
The Society of American Florists is now curating new training opportunities, created by the industry’s top trainers, teachers, and horticultural/floral pros, in a central location — its Career Connection learning hub.
The first five courses address fundamental topics that have a bottom-line impact on shop operations, including setting new hires up for success, reducing shrink, getting new hires on the design bench faster and cross-training current employees.
“SAF recognized this industry need for education and is leveraging its resources to create training and also partner with existing training resources to create a one-stop resource. And Career Connection makes accessing the best industry training easy because it’s all in one place,” says Kate Delaney, AAF, SAF Director of Career Development, who spearheaded the development of the platform.
The following on-demand learning courses are available now – and new content will be added regularly.
