It is a pivotal time in the dairy industry. With evolving consumer demands, disruptive technologies, and rising domestic and geopolitical tensions, it has never been more important to prepare our future leaders for what lies ahead. To that end, IDFA is preparing a new class of dairy leaders to take on the challenges of tomorrow through the NextGen Leadership Program – a multi-faceted, year-long curriculum that is designed to support, guide and prepare mid-senior level dairy industry professionals ready to take the next step in their leadership journey.IDFA members are encouraged to download the video for use in your recruitment and retention efforts. Download the video here, or contact me at mgoodin@idfa.org to personalize the video with your company logo.
IDFA has been working with our HR Leaders in Dairy community and the IDFA Communications Committee to develop Careers in Dairy – a video series to aid IDFA member companies in their recruitment efforts for a wide variety of positions from a wide variety of backgrounds. Season 1—now available in both English and Spanish—highlighted the benefits of working in specific positions within the industry, from trucking to quality assurance to research & development. In Season 2, we’re focusing on making the dairy industry attractive to people of different backgrounds, like veterans. Season 3 will focus on mission-oriented reasons for joining our industry, from community engagement to action on sustainability to nourishing the world.If your company would like to partner with IDFA on future episodes of Careers in Dairy, or you would like to have your IDFA member company logo added to these videos for a better branded product for your business, please reach out to me at mgoodin@idfa.org for coordination and support.
IDFA is grateful to Members Saputo USA, Saputo Dairy Foods, LLC, Shamrock Farms, Michigan Milk Producers Association, Associated Milk Producers Inc., Diversified Foods Inc., and Americold Logistics for their collaboration on this episode of Careers in Dairy.
