CanScribe Career College Launching New Cohort for its Agriculture Technology Program on May 20th

The next cohort for the Agriculture Technology Program will run from May 20 - August 11, 2025, with a limit of 40 seats.

KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, April 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CanScribe Career College is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of new cohorts for its Agricultural Technology Program. The Agricultural Technology Program is supported by Palette Skills to help workers find new careers through skills training and job placement in some of the fastest-growing industries in Canada.

The Agricultural Technology Program is an innovative 12-week online program that prepares students to secure employment and advancement in agriculture. It emphasizes time-tested agricultural methods and the emerging role of technology in the sector, including drones, sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and web-based tools. Developed with input and guidance from industry experts, the program accommodates training in remote and Indigenous communities and supports job placement in these regions. The program can encompass students from across Canada through its progressive online delivery. The next cohort will run from May 20 - August 11, 2025, with a limit of 40 seats. Additional cohorts will start in September 2025 and January 2026, respectively.

Supported by the Science and Economic Development Canada’s (ISED) Upskilling for Industry Initiative, more than 15,000 Canadian workers will benefit from an innovative approach to skills training. Central to the Upskill Canada initiative is the role of community training providers, who work closely with local and national employers to identify precise suites of skills being sought by industry. Equipping workers with these skills will create new career pathways for Canadians and better position Canadian companies to compete both domestically and internationally.
