I see great value in the Seed Business 101 course. Employee productivity and retention are critical to our small, privately owned company. In the last year we have hired 5 talented people that knew nothing about the seed industry. This course can make them a lot more productive quicker.

This training resource will help us with the task of accelerating the introduction of talented new recruits to the complexities of the seed business. It will nicely complement their prior academic education. The group-based discussions provide a great forum to improve their understanding of the fundamental activities central to success in the seeds business.

Syngenta is constantly hiring new employees to work in the very complicated seed industry. We are very excited about the training opportunity Seed Business 101 offers to move our high performing new employees along the learning curve at an accelerated rate. I am very pleased that a session of the course will be held in the Boise region. Syngenta is committed to helping to make the course a great success.
