Training & Consultancy

In today's increasingly competitive environment, the success of dairy cooperatives depends on their people.  Boards, chief executives, managers, field staff, workers must all match or exceed the competence and commitment of their counterparts in investor-owned organisations.  Supporting cooperatives with technical training and professional expertise has long been an NDDB priority.

Over the years, the Dairy Board has developed both the physical infrastructure, the experience, the methods and training skills necessary to fulfill this responsibility. NDDB offers a variety of  training programmes as well as on-demand  consultancy in various technical and functional areas. The scope of training and consultancy ranges from cooperative institution building to market studies and development, from dairy plant management  to feasibility and impact studies. 

Training programmes are designed in-house and are conducted by NDDB personnel who are specialists in the field. Most training programmes are designed exclusively for cooperative organisations.  Some consultancy services and selected training programmes are also offered to other organisations.
