Green Certificate Equine Curriculum

November 2007 Issue of the Green Certificate News

“To design an Equine Technician Green Certificate that is practical and of benefit to the students and to the industry, experienced volunteers who are willing to share their expertise are required,” says Nicole Hornett, Green Certificate program assistant with Alberta Agriculture and Food, Edmonton. “To ensure that the equine technician curriculum includes essential aspects of the equine industry and that it will provide information, learning and skill development for future industry employees, we are enlisting the help of volunteers to attend a focus group session in January 2008. During this session, the group will prepare an initial outline and framework for the Green Certificate equine course.”

To be a focus group participant, applicants must be able to meet for one or two days in mid-January 2008. Albertans who would like to participate in the focus group, or would be willing to receive and review the draft curriculum developed at the focus group session, are asked to submit a short introduction to Hornett including the following information:

What is your equine experience?
What equine organizations are you affiliated with (please list)
Which aspects of the industry do you feel you most adequately represent
Availability to attend the focus group session in January 2008 (for focus group only)
Time to review the curriculum package and provide constructive feedback
Are you familiar with or have experience with the Green Certificate Program
Contact information – phone number, mailing address, e-mail address

Deadline is November 28, 2007. All questions and submissions to Nicole Hornett at 780-644-5378 or nicole.hornett@gov.ab.ca
