Interpreters (pdf)Training of Trainers and Technical Assistance: NIFI’s National Network of Trainers
Through the TOTs and the
Field Training Fund, we have been taking steps to develop the
foundation for a network of trainers equipped to serve immigrant farmer
populations throughout the country. These trainers have skills in risk
management areas and expertise in hands-on and experiential trainings
for immigrant farmers. Please e-mail us for their contact information.
