Many dairy farmers have participated in international study trips and seminars. New information has been obtained through this, but perhaps not in so concretically level as needed. It is now possible to deepen the skills through international traineeships. By doing is best learning.

International farmer -project is looking for interesting internships from abroad and organises short traineeships for these farms (e.g. 5-7 days). In Finland, an outgoing farmer receives a pre-training course that makes the internship as valuable as possible. Thanks to project support, cost/entrepreneur is very affordable. Traineeships will be carried out during wintertime 2022-2023.

We gather the needs and interests of farmers through a questinary located on the "Ajankohtaista" -page. Completing the questinary and providing contact information can be accessed from the project mailing list. There is still no commitment to the actual measures at this stage.

The project area is the provinces of northern Savo, northern Ostrobothnia, North Karelia and Kainuu. The main funding of the project is the ELY centres and the ESF-structural funding programme, other public and private funding will be carried out by the implementing schools and entrepreneurs, as well as the co-operative ItäMaito and the cooperative Pohjolan Maito. The main implementation and coordination of the project is carried out by the Savonia University of Applied Sciences with the Oulu University of Applied Sciences, the Riveria Faculty of Education and the Kainuu Vocational School. The project lasts until 30.6.2023.
