Dear friends, as part of our joint project with BASF T.O.V LLC, «AgroMentor: Side by Side to Knowledge,» within the Corporate Mentorship program «Path to Success,» corporate mentors held an incredibly engaging webinar for young people – «Digital Technologies in Agriculture.».
We discussed trending digital technologies used by the company. The digital world is an integral part of our present and continues to develop dynamically, so it is extremely important for the younger generation to understand all the nuances and opportunities these technologies provide. The speakers prepared a very engaging interactive presentation. The young participants eagerly joined the discussion and shared their thoughts. The participants had active discussions among themselves because, as our speaker said: «There are no bad questions!». This topic is extremely interesting and relevant for our teenagers, so there were many questions for the speakers.
Participants learned what «clouds» are, why they emerged, and how they store and process data, what we pay with for «free clouds,» and how exactly they function, what software robots are, mixed reality technologies and their areas of application, what skills and abilities will be needed in the future for working with digital technologies, what challenges agricultural sector workers face, and the risks and opportunities for solving them. Our corporate mentors provided educational videos and links to useful resources for further learning, and during the next meeting, which everyone is eagerly awaiting, the young people will share their impressions and thoughts about these innovations in agriculture and IT.
For teenagers and young people from vulnerable categories, this kind of interaction with professionals who share their knowledge and experience while creating a safe and supportive environment is not only an opportunity to broaden their horizons and become familiar with new fields and professions, but also a significant development of communication skills, self-confidence, and the ability to make informed career choices that they truly enjoy and that will allow them to express themselves and develop their talents.
