Celebrating our new affiliate partners: AgAssist! 👏
We're partnering with Ag Assist to deliver online training to workers on their platform – when training is completed a badge appears on their profile making them stand out as skilled in the pool of available workers. Nice!
What is Ag Assist? 🧑🌾
It's a platform for connecting farmers with local workers across the Dairy, Dairy Support, Sheep & Beef, and Arable industries. Made by farmers, for farming people, Ag Assist streamlines the process of finding pre-approved workers for urgent tasks, regular jobs, and long-term farm positions.
If you're a farmer, you'll get access to a pool of local workers and can explore detailed worker profiles with ease. If you're a worker, you can set your own work schedule and access key job information.
Here's how it works 👉
