Who it's for
This scheme is specifically intended for youth who are working on family farms. It is designed to support younger workers as they gain experience in agricultural environments.
What you get
Participants receive access to specific safety training modules. These modules focus on the practicalities of staying safe when working around various types of farm machinery. The goal is to provide the necessary knowledge to handle equipment and navigate the unique hazards found on a farm setting.
What it costs you
There is no financial cost to access these resources. The program provides free online access to the training modules, making it easy for young workers to learn at their own pace without a monetary barrier.
The catch to know
While the training itself is free, it is important to understand that many provincial labor boards require this type of safety training to be completed.

Failing to complete required training could impact how insurance works in the event of an accident.
