Ontario Training More Dairy Farmers

Ontario’s dairy farmers work tirelessly to keep milk and dairy products on the table for families across our province and country.

Today, Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, announced that our government is investing over $300,000 to help young people to prepare for meaningful and well-paying careers in the dairy industry.  

In partnership with Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO), the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus’ Dairy Herdsperson Apprenticeship (DHA) program will be expanding to offer a hybrid, distance education option for students who are not able study in person full-time or are already working on farms around the province.
