Outcome: Initial Outcome
Upon request from participants from last years commercial pesticide CEU training, a virtual Zoom was held this December. The Horticulture agent provided 4 hours of CEU’s via Extension Specialists and a state inspector within categories 3, 10, 12, 18, and 20.
13 individuals participated throughout the state, and obtained 4 hours within the listed categories. It was stated by participants that this online option was a very helpful training due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Online training is often the only way of obtaining CEUs this year. Having another option for training at the end of the year greatly helped the commercial applicators obtain their needed CEUs.
The horticulture agent will do this tri-county training again this December too with a Zoom option and hopefully an in person option as well.
