Green operators: the importance of training

For gardeners, training is increasingly important and recognized in the face of market demands. EIMA Digital Preview offers two important conferences dedicated to the quality courses and the new professional role of groundsman

With the professional recognition of the role of gardener, there is growing attention from the industry to the issue of training, professionalism, updating, work quality and worker safety, within accredited and recognized bodies. A qualified and up-to-date professional is able to propose and plan projects that are implemented with awareness and foresight, respecting the needs of the customer, but also and above all the environment and plant health, with great benefits also in terms of subsequent maintenance over time. For this reason, the schedule of EIMA Digital Preview - the digital platform created by EIMA International, online from 11 to 15 November - includes training sessions intended for professionals in the green supply chain, organized in concert with the industry's best training bodies, which are part of EIMA Green Academy: a network and a "quality brand" that offers recognized and updated training for green operators. The first event is scheduled on the EIMA Digital Preview platform on Wednesday 11 November, from 11:00 to 12:00. Its theme will be "The importance of training for gardeners" and its repercussions on the quality of the work of green operators, also in relation to new market demands and prospects. The speaker will be Federico Di Cara, director and teacher of the Italian Garden Academy. On Friday 13 November, from 11:00 to 12:00, the EIMA Digital Preview platform will host the speech by Francescco Dotto, international groundsman and president of IFGI (Italian groundsman training institute) and Grassmed (Mediterranean groundsman association). Dotto will offer an in-depth study on a new professionalism for the gardener, entitled "The role of groundsman in Italy and his training", highlighting employment opportunities and prospects in the field of sports green spaces. You can watch these meetings streamed on the EIMA Digital Preview platform.
