The morning starts with reviewing the training curriculum for a cooperative workshop and loading sample farm data into the Farmforce platform to demonstrate record-keeping features. The trainer then drives to a rural cooperative office to set up laptops and tablets for a group session.

The day wraps with collecting feedback forms and logging support tickets. You coordinate closely with cross functional colleagues to align on immediate deliverables, double checking equipment readiness and standard operating protocols.

In the afternoon, you execute core deliverables, consult with cross functional colleagues, document operational outcomes, and ensure that all equipment and handover notes are fully updated before completing the shift.
