Experienced USDA Trainers

The trainers at International Produce Training offer over 30 years of USDA experience. In 2001, the USDA Fresh Products Branch created a National Training and Development Center, in Fredericksburg, VA. Tom Yawman, the founder of International Produce Training, was placed at the Training Center from its inception. Paul Manol, a trainer for International Produce Training, was a Training Specialist.

Convenient

Having a reputable and knowledgeable trainer come to your place of business is a major convenience. Some training programs expect you to send your employees to them. This is often not feasible for many company’s due to geographic or financial restrictions. The scheduling for other training programs can also be a problem since it’s dictated and not negotiated. It only makes sense for International Produce Training to send the trainer to you.

Customized Training Program

Customized training programs are rare these days. A lot of training programs out there today are built for a one-size-fits-all mentality. At International Produce Training we know a customized produce inspection training program is the most valuable and efficient manner to train your employees. We work with you to design the training program course curriculum. You pick the commodities and we build the lessons.
