About IntoHorticulture
IntoHorticulture is the onboarding course for the horticulture industry. A course specially designed for people embarking on a career in horticulture but who do not yet know the sector. This beautiful industry can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, especially for newcomers. The training fully immerses participants in a new world and they'll learn all about the terminology, different technologies, types of companies and processes. This is done through a combination of theoretical lessons and lots of visits to leading companies.

What to expect
Each morning the group of participants starts with theory lessons on various subjects such as greenhouse construction, breeding, plant physiology, energy, supply chain management, cooperatives, climate control and marketing. In the afternoon, visits are made to leading companies in the sector. During these visits, the participants see the previously discussed theory put into practice. The content of the program is provided by knowledge partner HortiTech, with whom World Horti Center works closely to facilitate this course.
