At the invitation of CRIPA, three students participated in the 2021 event which took place in virtual mode from November 22 to 23, 2021.  

Discover the testimonies of the CRIPA participants:

"A big thanks for the opportunity, I really enjoyed the different conferences and testimonials from women in the industry".

 

"My favorite conference was: Human Resources (HR) Management Strategies and Best Practices for Farm and Agriculture Organizations. Because I discovered the difference between administrative HR and strategic HR, and their importance to help farmers. Which is a plus for me, wishing to help farmers to have a working environment that meets their needs and current challenges. In addition, this conference discussed new initiatives to be undertaken in the field of HR, which is proof that the industry continues to change and therefore we too must change with them to be able to provide high quality services".

 

"Many of the lectures were relevant to my career plans, and the sum of the lectures was very inspiring. In addition, a large part of the day was dedicated to networking, which is a major plus in a conference like this.

The most beneficial talks for me were: Discovering your speaker's Edge, Using Informal Networking to Build a Career or Business in Ag, Breaking the Silence on Mental Illness, The Power of Authentic Connections".
