Summary

Fostering the next generation of leaders in the vineyard is critical to our industry's long-term sustainability and success. This 3-part series empowers supervisors with the foundational skills to grow, succeed, and support business goals. Focusing on essential leadership skills like communication, conflict resolution, team motivation, and confidently navigating challenging conversations, each half-day session includes practical, hands-on activities and small assignments to reinforce these skills, enabling participants to apply them immediately within their organizations.

Ideal for new supervisors, crew leads, frontline managers, and those seeking to refresh their approach, this program offers a strong foundation for thriving in management roles.

Please note that all programs are in Spanish unless otherwise specified.

Complimentary for Napa County farmworkers. This private event is for registered farmworkers only.


Impact

This series teaches individuals how to lead and motivate a team with confidence, empathy, and effective communication. These life-long skills are extremely important for Napa County farmworkers who want to advance and gain more responsibility in their careers. In post-series surveys, 90% of students stated they had very little knowledge of management skills when beginning the class. After completing the series, 100% of the students stated that they learned a lot and left with new skills they will use immediately to be better supervisors/managers.


Past Student Testimonials

This series will help me a lot because I learned really good management techniques. For example, I now know how to act when faced with a problem and how to form a good work team.

I learned how to manage a difficult situation with a colleague and make the most appropriate decision for both parties. We all have different personalities, and these classes taught me how to reach the person to resolve a conflict and when to act and ask for help if necessary.
