The induction day consists of 3 specific courses that aim to better equip interns with key knowledge and skills necessary to get the most benefit from the placement.​

​​

1. Manual Handling Training: A certified manual handling instructor will lead the training and will issue interns a certificate of completion once the programme is finished. With the nature of the work that interns will be doing on farms, it is important that they are equipped with the necessary knowledge to prevent any injury or harm.

2. Farm Safety Class: This class highlights the potential dangers that interns should be aware of while working during their placement. It teaches safe farming practices and also demonstrates the importance of following these procedures while on placement.

3. Placement Overview: The last presentation of the day is an overview of the individual's placement. A background will be given on IAI, the host farm and the feedback we received from other interns from their time there. We cover the terms of the internship as well as some tourist recommendations in the locality.

4. ATV Quad-bike Training: Optional extra - price TBD
